I believe this is for BSDi. I saw it too, and have sent a mail to David LeBlanc, asking what his numbers were supposed to mean (they're not well enough specified to be meaningfull; I _guess_ that they refer to linear prediction, but I'm not certain), which BSDs he had measured on, and to please do a clarification on the NTBugTraq list. I really wouldn't want people to believe FreeBSD is that vulnerable if it isn't true; and I suspect it no longer is. Eivind.
