Flex Builder debugger hangs

Keep running into this issue where the Flex Builder debugger hangs when I launch my application. Digging around on the net, the bug seems to show up randomly, but is very frustrating. I did find the bug mentioned in the Adobe Bug list and they claim to have fixed it internally, but they haven't shipped a fixed Flash Player that addresses the problem. The current workaround is to set the affinity of your javaw.exe process (that is launched when you start Flex Builder) to only 1 CPU using the Task Manager Processes tab and right-clicking on the javaw.exe process. I have a quad core system and this bug bites me all the time. The workaround appears to address the issue.
