Well, at this point I'm even more convinced about the stack corruption thing... Unfortunately I still didn't handle to build gnash with propolice activated. I guess 'wiping' out deleted memory might help us, but it's probably something that's better implemented as a delete wrapper itself ?

Congratulations, everybody, on stabilizing this release candidate. I'd prefer to keep developing in CVS, and then just make a new release a 0.7.3 branch when we get video stabilized to the point it works for YouTube, Google, or Lulu.tv.
