YouTube – Player requests localhost:8881/crossdomain.xml

This is a really annoying bug within the (new) YouTube flash player.

As far as I’ve understood the change that leads to the player trying to load the crossdomain.xml file on my local box and while – due to obvious reasons – failing to do so it slows my browsers down to a point where they – Safari and FireFox on Mac OS X that is – literally freeze – is meant to be a security fix.
