For some perspective, I have in my queue about 30-40 OpenBSD buffer
overflow bugs that I've not had time to investigate, let alone patch
in -current.  And -stable is worse because people haven't been
actively fixing it.

Anyway, don't mean to sound alarmist, but there are many holes in
2.1.6 that will be non-trivial to fix (or at least that will take a
non-trivial amount of time to fix).

And I thought I'd have more time to do this when I wasn't looking for
work :-(.
