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.
