I'm seeing this too, and flash stopped working for me also.  Flash7 in 
firefox gives me this error:

LoadPlugin: failed to initialize shared library 
/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so 
[/usr/X11R6/lib/linux-flashplugin7/libflashplayer.so: Undefined symbol 
"ah_arctan"]


Is that error related I wonder?  I believe it also is a dlsym user..
