Hi,

Over the past few days I have found some rather important issues in the
plugin that I feel need to be fixed. Due to me being at the Red Hat
Summit over most of this week I've only now been able to start looking
into them.

I think it would be best to push the release to some time next week. I
will send another update on Monday/Tuesday on the status of the fixes.

The issues that need addressing are:
- NPN_getURL attempts recursive action and hangs (FF4 only)
- FF randomly crashes due to calls from incorrect (non-main) threads to
  NP* functions ... the cause was unknown to me until early this week..
  only now found a better reproducer

I'd rather see us release a good product slightly late than a bad one
early :)

Cheers,
Deepak
