While we can modify the regression tests to catch this specific problem in the future, I wonder if there ought to be more testing of security releases in the future. When a problem is reported, fixed, tested, and the resulting security fix is publicly distributed all without public discussion (e.g. on the -hackers list), that sounds like an invitation to introduce regressions to me. -Neil
