      censors

[Fix] Do not alter post counts when just removing a poll (Bug #1602) 
[Fix] Correct error in removal of old session keys 
[Fix] Changed filtering of short search terms 
[Sec] Improved filtering on language selection (also addresses a number 
      of bug reports related to missing languages) 
[Change] Backported more efficient highlighting code from Olympus 
[Change] Backported zlib emulation code so that there is only a single 
         confirmation image even if zlib is not available

I searched for a CVE number, but couldn't find one. I don't know how 
severe this bug is, but it would be nice to have an updated version for
sarge.
