So no way "no way". This group is about ActivePerl, so (for about 100% sure) Microsoft software is involved. See also google: bugtraq jpeg -microsoft which for example returns http://vdb.dragonsoft.com.tw/detail.php?id=2139 > Nobody in their right mind would be using M$ vs good open software. Coming from somebody that runs Microsoft software himself, that statement has no meaning. The point remains that either data can make code crash, or (helped by badly designed hardware) data can become code. To solve the first situation, you need different code. To solve the second situation, you also need different hardware. -- Affijn, Ruud "Gewoon is een tijger." _______________________________________________ ActivePerl mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
