This is worked around in upstream glibc 2.14 using symbol versioning, but
that hasn't been released yet. /usr/share/doc/libc6/NEWS.Debian.gz
explains some debugging tools and short-term workarounds. See [2] for the
relevant Debian libc6 report.
But of course, it is a flash player bug. Reading over the existing
bug log, it even seems like there is a patch available. Bart, would
you like help updating the package?
Paul, what version of the flash plugin do you use?
Thanks for reporting and for packaging the flash plugin, respectively.
Regards,
Jonathan
