Sounds like Gnash is stuck in the run() loop in gui/fb.cpp. I always
use CTRL-C or kill to stop fb-gnash, so there could be a bug I did
not notice.

I guess the file reads are for the input devices. Please check via
/proc what file descriptors 3 and 4 point to. I guess these are
keyboard and mouse.

Do you run Gnash as root?
