buffer overflow in netscape

software used: Netscape Communicator 4.73 on Linux 2.2.14
with Shockwave Flash 4.0 r12

today, while browsing
http://www.epiccenter.com/EpicCenter/custom/260/frame.html,
something strange happened: my netscape crashed (well, it's not that
strange:) and libsafe reported this:

=====================================================================
Jun  4 13:16:58 zion libsafe.so[27786]: version 1.3
Jun  4 13:16:58 zion libsafe.so[27786]: detected an attempt to write
across stack boundary.
Jun  4 13:16:58 zion libsafe.so[27786]: terminating
/usr/local/netscape/netscape
Jun  4 13:16:58 zion libsafe.so[27786]: overflow caused by memcpy()
=====================================================================

and I can reproduce it. I doubt the site in cause is evil... must be
netscape or shockwave's fault

can you reproduce it ?

N: please excuse my bad english, I'm french.. and I'm learning dvorak :)
