nspluginwrapper.i386? Huh?

I just had the nspluginwrapper (that was apparently
automagically installed with fedora 8) do what it has always
done in the past - go into an infinite loop consuming
my CPU, so I did a:

   yum erase nspluginwrapper

and yum told me it was going to erase two packages:
The x86_64 and the i386 nspluginwrapper.

What in the blue blazes does a 32 bit version of
nspluginwrapper do? Can it run 64 bit plugins
for a 32 bit browser or something? Has anything
more pointless ever been shipped with fedora? :-).
