Not trying to offend Paul Traina, but I'd prefer to take Eric Allman's
one and apply the necessary bandaids to it.

But whatever the case, something *has* to go in, because if we ship
2.1 with the buggy version, because of the identical binaries on each
system, somebody *will* calculate the offsets and the code to subvert
2.1R. 

If going with Paul Traina's version is what it takes to get it fixed,
I'll gladly put aside my slight preference for Eric's version.

Cheers,
-Peter
