WebKit becomes irresponsive and needs to be quit forcefully.
It is a recurring issue. However it appears to happen in random occasions.

I attached Drosera to WebKit before loading up www.idg.se. Doing a few pauses, I was able to see that numerous of
javascript functions were being executed. I stepped out of these functions using the same app, and was shortly thereafter informed that a script was making the browser irresponsive.  I clicked "Stop", and hoped to regain control over WebKit, but the freeze was already a fact.

By forcefully quit WebKit, I received the following Stack trace:

From the stack trace, this looks like it may be a Flash plug-in issue. Would installing an update from <http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer> resolve this for you?

Latest nightly Nov 14 and Shockwave Flash 9.0 r124 had no issues with this site.

Latest nightly Nov 14 and Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12 had no issues with this
site. Some flash movies on IDG-TV tab played fine.
