Yeah, I know. :-) But I've got too many simultaneous crises going on right now. And my "system" stuff isn't precisely stock, so it's not a matter of just plopping in a new /bin, etc. What I'm going to do is drop in replacements for the things that users can call that will cause problems with system-level security. That's something I can do in an hour or so, instead of the N hour upgrade process I otherwise would have to go through. Once the rest of the messes are dealt with, I'll do a proper upgrade....
