My apologies for this; after having been in a very busy period at work for some time, I was dealing with the bug in a rush immediately before going on holiday for a week, and a comment on the bug by that point indicated that it had already been forwarded to Theo DeRaadt. Since that sounded vaguely reasonable and I was short on time, I didn't think to check further. (The bug log indicates that a member of Red Hat's Security Response Team was also aware of the same problem.) -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
