Flash and Java virtual machines don't have to honor the proxy settings,
and depending upon your OS, they run as a different pid.

When metasploit released their dns tricks with flash/java, I ran ff2
from torify in osx and found that flash/java were still bypassing the
tor proxy.  I didn't try windows nor linux.
