I got around this issue by uninstalling flash and installing gnash.
Seems to work ok.

ii  gnash                                0.8.1~rc.070818-1
free Flash movie player
ii  gnash-common                         0.8.1~rc.070818-1
free Flash movie player - common files/libra
ii  konqueror-plugin-gnash               0.8.1~rc.070818-1
free Flash movie player - Plugin for Konquer
ii  mozilla-plugin-gnash                 0.8.1~rc.070818-1
free Flash movie player - Plugin for Mozilla

I installed the mozilla-plugin-gnash since the konqueror-plugin-gnash
package didn't put the plugin in a path that Konqueror sees by default
and I was too lazy to create a link.

Adobe sites work

Youtube worked.

I am guessing the fancier stuff that needs Flash 9 won't work but it
probably won't lock up either.
