With due respect to Assar, this is the kind of breakage that just cannot happen in a -Stable branch. You could almost get away with this in 4.0 right now, but once 4.1-RELEASE goes out the door we will be severely damaging our claims of stability and production-readiness with these kinds of mistakes. The argument that the commit was necessary for security implies that _greater_ care be taken to insure that the changes work. No angry words or recriminations are needed, just more caution in the future. Doug -- "Live free or die" - State motto of my ancestral homeland, New Hampshire Do YOU Yahoo!?
