[Bug 238394] [NEW] System unusable with 100% CPU usage by npviewer.bin

I've used the "Report a Problem" feature and now find myself here being
asked to provide context. Tricky. All *I* know is that for the umpteenth
time my son has informed me that the computer has stopped responding and
that upon investigation (which sometimes, though not always, involves
pushing the big red power button) I find a mis-behaving npviewer.bin
process hogging the CPU.

Using gutsy amd64 on a dual-core processor. (On a good day, I get asked
to investigate when only 1 CPU has been overrun. On a bad day, it has
"attacked" both. :)
