When playing a HLS stream with the Flash player (current master 8a98910) in a tab which is currently not the active tab, the playback will pause after some time. If you go to the tab, playback will resume. If you don't, playback will not resume, and the whole tab will crash a while later.
After playback has paused, my Activity Monitor shows a Google Chrome Helper process sponging up memory at about 10 megabytes per second, up until it consumes ~1.1GB and then the tab crashes.
It always happens at the same parts of the stream. The stream is a m3u8 playlist of finite length, with some #EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY flags and gaps in the timestamps between the video segments.
It does not seem to happen when the Flash player plays media that is not HLS.
I'm using Google Chrome 35.0.1916.114 on OSX and Flash (Adobe) 13.0.0.214.
