Bug in mozilla plugin destruction

[keymon]

Hi, I'm using vlc-0.8.5 in linux (Debian Testing) with firefox 1.0.8.

There is a bug when more than one video is played with mozilla plugin:

When the page is reloaded, the plugin objects are destroyed. The destructor calls the mozilla/vlcshell.cpp:NPP_Destroy() function, that calls the libvlc functions: VLC_CleanUp() and VLC_Destroy().

The problem is that if there are more than one vlcplugin instance, VLC_Destroy() is called twice and some data strutures are freed twice.

I examined a little the code, and I think that VLC_Destroy() operates over global data that the vlcplugin threads share and that should not be freed if other instances are running. It also perfoms operations that I think that are unnecesary, like save configuration (?) or the module cache...

I commented the VLC_Destroy() and it works great.

I tried your workaround for 0.8.6 but the code has changed since 0.8.5 but it seems to be still the same problem
do you have any ideas how to work around the bug without eating all of my memory ?
