I understand that the bug may not be a security issue, but right now, the handling of network connections is impaired. Some may consider not having web access due to the Ibex a security vulnerability, no?
I will test this further this weekend, when network disruption can be withstood. Thank you for the prompt reply. Thanks, Anthony M.
