I left the page www.miamidolphins.com open overnight. My disk space filled up because /tmp accumulated large masses of the file WebKitPlugInStream* .
Just go to the page and sit there for a while and you'll see that the files start accumulating quite rapidly.
I'm not a Mac developer, but if this could happen to me, it could happen to the average user quite easily. At least I knew where to look for the files.

I tried, and could not get any WebKitPlugInStream* files in /tmp folder. I am using Flash 9.
Reporter, is this issue still reproducible for you?

It seems to depend on the front page content of that specific web page. (In reply to comment #1)

Have you seen this issue lately with WebKit nightly builds? I think it may have been fixed a while ago.
