And here is the link to the proper article about this: http://undeadly.org/cgi?action=article&sid=20051224192032 I think it is now apparent that most OpenBSD developers aren't interested in fixing these bugs in every possible piece of software (which makes perfect sense to me -- one always has limited resources to spare -- why fix those GPL-style bugs? I'd rather see more free software fixed).
