Wow!  That's a good way to have unpatched security holes in your apps, due
to not applying the security updates! =8^(  Glad you eventually figured
out the issue, before some cracker did!  (Luckily for now, Linux doesn't
have quite the blackhat community attention that MSWormOS gets, but as it
continues to develop and gain popularity, one must expect that'll
eventually change, and it seems to have already changed some, witness the
penetrations or near-penetrations in the last 18 months or so of the
servers of big projects such as the kernel, GNU, and Debian.)
