PLEASE don't listen to this person.  Lenny pointed out a hole I hadn't
noticed yet (we use 3b1s in a potentially hostile environment), which
allowed me to plug it before it got used.

Brant: `certainly' did more damage than good?  Please tell us where you
got your data.  You definitely didn't ask me for input.

I'd like to hear about other security holes I may not have noticed.
Maybe I can't always do anything about it, but at least I'd have an
idea on where to look.
