I've seen some Linux distributions (e.g., [1]) claim that 10.0.22.87 fixes this bug (aka CVE-2008-4546), but I think this is mistaken. You can easily reproduce this bug (i.e., crash your browser) by visiting http://flashcrash.dempsky.org/. Be sure to tell your friends: it can be the next Rick Roll.
