synergy server hangs with Flash pages and Opera

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

And my report/patch upstream:

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.
