Flex and Linux help

Question

I have some socket code that works fine in Windows and Mac.
However, the socket
wont connect or
throw an error in the Linux flash player (debug or normal).
Below is a code fragment. I can't find any reference to any special
circumstances for Linux. If I am doing something wrong, then some
help would be greatly appreciated.
import flash.net.Socket;
import flash.events.IOErrorEvent;
import flash.events.SecurityErrorEvent;
import flash.system.Security;
private var socket: Socket = new Socket();
public function connectToLogger( ipAddress: String = null,
ipPort: int = 8000): void
// event for when the server connection is established.
socket.addEventListener( Event.CONNECT, onConnect );
// event for when the server closes the socket.
socket.addEventListener( Event.CLOSE, onClose );
// event for when there is an I/O error event logged during
connection.
socket.addEventListener( IOErrorEvent.IO_ERROR, onIOError );
// event for when there is an security error event logged
during connection.
socket.addEventListener( SecurityErrorEvent.SECURITY_ERROR,
onSecurityError );
// Listen for when data is received from the socket server
socket.addEventListener( ProgressEvent.SOCKET_DATA,
onSocketData );
try
trace( "Trying to connect (" + ipAddress + ": " + ipPort +
socket.connect( ipAddress, ipPort );
catch( error: SecurityError )
trace( "socket.connect error" + error );
catch( error: IOError )
trace( "socket.connect error" + error );
trace( "socket.connected = " + socket.connected );

Turns out it was a bug in the Flash player. The beta player
released on 21st of August 2007 successfully connects from
Linux.
