Did anyone upstream look into a compatibility environment variable that could be exported to change the direction of the memcpy? Yes, it's a hack, but it would allow affected users to have an option. Alternatively, I agree that this is one case where a wrapper hack would also work for the flash plugin. I suspect, however, that other projects will be affected and so a generic solution would help.
