Hi,

This patch makes nspluginscan fork for every load of a supposed
Netscape plugin. This is done to prevent a .so which causes a segfault
from stopping the whole scanning process. This unfortunatelly happens
with a certain .so in the Sun Java 2, shipped with Netscape 6.1, so
people who install Netscape 6.1 would begin seeing Crash dialogs on
every KDE startup / plugin rescan. This patch fixes it.

Can I push it into 2.2.1?
