I have one or two emails from Julian Assange about security in ld-linux.so, 
but don't remember any commits to pg source tree. Probably Bruce remember him.

Date: Sat, 19 Jul 1997 00:07:59 +1000
From: Julian Assange <proff@SUBURBIA.NET>
To: BUGTRAQ@NETSPACE.ORG
Subject: Re: KSR[T] Advisory #2: ld.so
