are you running the linux mozilla?  That may be the problem where you
are trying to mix given that there is IPC stuff going on between flash
and mozilla..

Right why I said its more a matter of recompiling.  Even from linux to
BSD is generally trivial for most applications (some network stuff can
be a bit odd becuase the structure names in the include files can be
different why linux has __USE_BSD and __FAVOR_BSD to try to use the BSD
names in things like IP/UDP/TCP headers and all - not something most
programs do).
