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.
