I believe that we have good reason to be wary about their judgement on 
security issues.

The 4.1.2 release is not particularly useful to us. We have RedHat RPMs of
4.0.6, and these have been tested in-house and by devinfo folks. The
1.71.2.3 version of rfc1867.c does not compile with 4.0.6, and still
contains a number of boundary check problems.

"fixed in CVS" can mean many things. It certainly didn't mean to me
"there is a fixed version compatible with 4.0.6 in CVS if you care to
look". The patch that Adrian submitted to php.net was mine, and was made
on the 28th, soon after Rasmus posted his patch into CVS.

On a lighter note, enjoy the irony of this CVS comment on the 4.0.7
version of rfc1867.c:
