Thanks for taking the time to report this bug. Unfortunately, that stack trace is missing some elements that will help a lot to solve the problem, so it will be hard for the developers to fix that crash. Can you get us a stack trace with debugging symbols? Please see http://live.gnome.org/GettingTraces for more information on how to do so and reopen this bug or report a new one. Thanks in advance!
Tom, I consider this a pretty good stack trace, even though it's missing various information. Not sure if those bugs should be closed so quickly. In this case it's fine though, because it has been filed against Swfdec as http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21004 already.
I'd seen the big block
+ Trace 214134
and considered the chances of being able to figure it out without more information were pretty low, but glad you were able to figure it out!
