I committed a patch in both head and release branch to have
get_exported_resource() scan the movie until either the EXPORT
tag for the requested symbol if found, the SWF stream ends, or
a timeout occurred.

Seems the better solution (btw, MM player is reported to crash on
situations that gnash handle just fine)

Dejagnu.swf "shared lib" is lovely :)
