Well, that explains it. I was perplexed by an auto-generated e-mail I
got from SuSE's support center earlier today:
Jun 02 SuSE Linux AG ( 104) [20030602420004939] Re: Re: 45443-343556
Reading the security advisory, it turns out that ``45443-343556'' is
one of the numbers produced by this worm in the subject.
Yet another reason to PGP sign all your e-mails.
