I've made all my tests before the -test3 version (0.8.4a to -test1 on 
windows) and 0.85-svn (after 0.8.4 until the -svn20060301 on debian sid).

These problems appear, for example with mozilla 1.7.12 on debian sid, 
when i play a target file or stream and quit the browser without 
explicitly stopping the played element. I relaunch the browser and got 
these javascript errors.
I made some clear cache and type about:plugins in a single window (in a 
tab it seems that's not working) and these javascript errors disappear, 
i can play again these file/stream and don't need to clear the 
cache/type about:plugins again.
