Isn't only 64-bit preview release affected?
from adobe's website...http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/flashplayer10/
>>We have made this preview available so that users can test existing content and new platforms for compatibility and stability. Because this is a preview version of Flash Player, we don’t expect it >>to be as stable as a final release version of Flash Player. Use caution when installing Flash Player "Square" on production machines.
