Are you certain it's actually downloading and not just simply still 
running? I don't have a linux install so see exactly how this works but 
are you certain that it's not only 'active' but also actively 
downloading content?

I think I remember reading that rtmpdump continues to try to connect 
after it's lost the stream so it's possible it still shows up.

Is this not a continuation of the issue you previously posted about?

If, as previously, you have problems connecting to the CDN providing the 
flashhd1 stream then it stands to reason that sometimes it won't just go 
slowly but completely fail.
