I just want to say that -core has been supportive of any and all security related efforts that I have brought to their attention. OpenBSD has fixed a lot of stuff, and I've been reviewing them (slowly) and they have helped me fix a few problems as well. A nice, polite note to -core offering to do work in this area was all that it took to get this response. Didn't want to announce anything until I had made significant progress, which due to excessive chaos in my personal life I've not been able to do. Warner
