[Bug 332628] [NEW] synergy server hangs with Flash pages and Opera

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: synergy

It looks like there is an infinite loop bug in
synergy/lib/platform/CXWindowsScreen.cpp which causes the synergy server
process (synergys) to hang when viewing Flash pages in the Opera web
browser. Adding a sentinel counter to this loop allows the thread to
continue.

Relevant versions:
Ubuntu Intrepid and Gentoo
synergy-1.3.1 and CVS

Here is a related google groups discussion:

And my report/patch upstream:
https://sourceforge.net/tracker2/?func=detail&aid=2536487&group_id=59275&atid=490467

This patch has been working for at least me and Alan from the
aforementioned discussion for a couple weeks now. Hopefully it can be
included in the next package revision, lead to a better solution, or at
least help someone else  :)  It is included here for convenience.
