Details:

Gnash seems to crash when trying to view any of the lesson videos on
http://www.khanacademy.org/

An example is
http://www.khanacademy.org/video/scale-of-earth-and--sun?playlist=Cosmology%20and%20Astronomy

I suspect that the problem is their site polls the regular flash player to
check the video progress, you are awarded study points (called energy points)
for watching videos.

The code for their site also seems to be available as Free software if that
would help in trying to solve this problem.

The problem with gnash crashing when viewing lesson videos on the Khan Academy
website has been replicated by at four people using gnash 0.8.9 and sortiecat
(from the gnash irc channel on freenode) has tested it using the master
version.
