I have no idea. Maybe something to do with Flash.
Possibly, although I doubt it - I've never seen a flash plugin that attempted this but I have seen a number of JVMs do it (I assume it's something to do with jit), mostly older ones iirc, so it's probably worth checking for updates if you have a JRE installed that's not part of the distribution.

The offending file is a plugin called npviewer. Java was updated yesterday. I think this was activated as a result of my attempts to get Flash working with Firefox.

It's part of nspluginwrapper. I've been getting segfaults from this for several months, though it doesn't seem to actually break anything I use.

That's usually because the plugin it's wrapping segfaulted (e.g. I see dozens of these per day from flash: sometimes in libpthread, sometimes libflashsupport, etc.).
