Possibly, although I doubt it - I've never seen a flash plugin that 
attempted this but I have seen a number of JVMs do it (I assume it's 
something to do with jit), mostly older ones iirc, so it's probably 
worth checking for updates if you have a JRE installed that's not part 
of the distribution.
