Egregious though the error may be I can't myself see that a complete new
release is justified simply to include a four-line patch in a single
(not often-used?) module. If it were a buffer overflow it might be
different (but that would pretty much have to involve a C component).
Couldn't we just publicize the patch? I can't bring myself to believe
that 1745035 is really "important" enough.
