Adobe needs to stop adding stupid features and actually fix bugs in Flash CS4

Uh, hi...Adobe? FIX THIS FLASH BUG:

http://www.adobe.com/go/kb405257

It's in your knowledgebase...and you're aware of it. And it's a MAJOR BUG now that people are developing some large applications in Flash. At the very least, bump up the amount of memory the JVM uses. What's the big deal? We're big boys--we've got plenty of RAM.

In Flash CS3 on XP my project compiles fine, but on my MacbookPro with CS4 I get the dreaded message:

"5005: Unknown error optimizing byte code."

Seemingly randomly. Apparently you can fix this if you compile on the command line and specify more RAM usage to the compiler....so why can't the IDE do this? Other common fixes such as turning off optimization or deleting ASO files does nothing for me.

FIX IT!!!!
