I was rather surprised to read this, since I'm not submitting a feature
request; it's a security issue and normally, given a patch against the
latest released version, the people most familiar with the code should
port it forward, if going to merge security fixes with normal devel work
instead of branching a pure security-fix.

My view is the opposite. the person most familiar with the fix is the best person not to "break it", especially in the absence of test

Nonetheless, I set aside some time to redo the patch; first step, build
the module before making any changes, to be sure that I have a clean
slate.  Unfortunately, it fails to even configure for the platform.

Please first specify a required perl version, like this:
    requires( perl => '5.005' );

Ack, another module caught by a change in Module::Install. I have checked in a fix

Please also create a testcase which fails and shows the problem on the
version you have so we can verify that new code has fixed it.

Attached, derived from existing DIGEST-MD5; my test user doesn't have
authorization rights and it'd be too much hassle to set up such a
privileged account, so this can just be a second t/ file.  Test data
derived from Cyrus IMAP's MANAGESIEVE service (timsieved); server
behaviour confirmed against Isode's M-Box SIEVED server.  Test program
used to obtain the data (with the help of a CNONCE hack) is
'sieve-connect', obtainable from:

Thanks, I added that to the repository too.

Graham.
