I don't think it's urgent to fix it, but I think it's a good security hardening effort with very little downside and very little chance of regression. However, as I said if Holger, or anyone else, has a concern about the affects of adding this bit of security hardening to give us a safety net again then I simply won't do it in the simple API. ----------------- Donald Stufft PGP: 0x6E3CBCE93372DCFA // 7C6B 7C5D 5E2B 6356 A926 F04F 6E3C BCE9 3372 DCFA
