Oops, wrong.

The site did this the first time because gnash was failing to load missing boost_date_time*so

At the second attempt it was hitting the
"ACTIONSCRIPT ERROR: Script aborted due to exceeded limit: loop iterations count exceeded limit of 65536"
message.

Their JavaScript call to their flash_detection.swf redirects to their "noflash.php" page on any plugin failure.

So it remains to be seem why their flash detection swf goes into an infinite loop in Gnash.

Some sites' Flash version detection code doesn't identify Gnash as a V7 player and sends people to go get the MM flash player instead.

It would be nice if this worked.

Example:
