Hi, I have the same problem under Haiku and it's caused by the static
variable inside GnashFactory::instance function - it's linked into
different addresses in the shared libraries and in the gui executable.
I've been told this is because Haiku's linker doesn't support weak
symbols correctly.
A global variable for each Factory type should link correctly, you
could try that
