Supposing it is feasible... Patch memcpy to detect overlaps and
abort() if they are detected. If bugzilla is taken down disable the
backwards memcpy. Otherwise keep the patch so the problematic software
is detected and finally disable the overlap detection in the release
version.

Factory ;-) )

I'm far from convinced. Therefore, I'm inclined to disable this code
for 11.4 - also because it can break other less wide-spread stuff we did
not hear about yet, not just Flash.
