Maybe it queries the controlling terminal?

The crash happening in a closed-source plugin does suck pretty badly, yes.  
Have you tried yanking the plugin to confirm that the crash doesn't happen 
without it?

Where the heck did busybox httpd enter into this?  I thought you said you were 
launching konq from init?

When konq is started from init, not from when busybox httpd is?

Are you saying that this doesn't happen when you download the flash movie from 
some other httpd?  Have you tried looking at a flash movie on the local 
filesystem?

Just to confirm: we're trying to avoid triggering a bug in the closed-source 
flash plugin, that happens when you try to play an .swf file via the network.  
Not a crash that happens when you merely try to launch konqueror from init, 
as your first message implied.
