c.m.p?

And who will fix it if there's a security problem? The best thing for TSS would be to have a how-to perhaps pointing to the site. However, I would go further and write a quick how-to to grab the src.rpm from Dag and rebuild. It's not that hard, and for the very small number of Pine users that are out there, I imagine the majority of them can follow these instructions (although I admit it's a drag, but the source of the problem is UW).
