+ [Impact]
+ The version of mail-notification shipped with Quantal, 5.4.dfsg.1-6ubuntu4, 
crashes when using SSL to connect to an IMAP or POP server. The possibility to 
use SSL is essential, and many users consider this package useless if SSL is 
broken.
  
- $ mail-notification 
+ [Test Case]
+ $ mail-notification
  *** stack smashing detected ***: mail-notification terminated
  Aborted
  
- This bug has already fixed for Fedora by Erik van Pienbroek; see Fedora
- bug #810054.
+ [Regression Potential]
+ The regression risk is minimal.
+ * The change does not affect any other package.
+ * I (jarglpa) have tested and confirmed that this patch solves the problem
+   for me when applied against mail-notification 5.4.dfsg.1-6ubuntu4.
+ * I (gunnarhj) have used mail-notification including the bug fix for a few
+   weeks, and have not observed any adverse effects.
