If you have been using the new 64 bit beta of Flash Player ("Square") on Fedora 14, you might have noticed that some audio streams are distorted by a weird metallic noise that seems to emanate from the background. Apparently this is caused by a patch to glibc - which removes support for overlapping regions in memcpy. Although this is the right thing to do and clearly Adobe is using memcpy in a non-standard way, it's an annoying bug for non-techie users who don't really care much about whether an application is doing the "right thing" under the hood.

I have tried the first two and they both work perfectly.
