severity 560953 important
thanks

Hi,

As the security issue is a DoS issue, that isn't a serious one for this client 
application, so I'm downgrading the severity. Much better though, is to just 
fix it, so I've uploaded a NMU of 2.1-5.1 with the fix. Attached is the patch 
I used.


cheers,
Thijs
