Hi guys,

Someone here just noticed this on your site:

And was hoping to get some better PR.  I was under the impression we  
had fixed all the malformed output errors in 4.x, which is our current  
release.

I don't know whether I dropped the ball or you found better things to  
do, but the last message I had on getting OL working under Gnash was  
this, where I send a simple script to test that the basic structure of  
our runtime class system could work.  Did you get to test that?
