Whoops, also missed a CVE -- buffer overflows can cause a DoS.
Expiration date altered to 1 month accordingly.

By the way, Debian has dropped this as well, and upstream says it was
due a rewrite in 2002.

With the vulnerability in mind, whoever volunteers to maintain this
port should probably look at becoming the upstream too.
