    Is there anything we can do to alleviate the problem?

At a Consortium security meeting just after the X Conference, the issue of
releasing our code to the public was discussed, and the feeling at that time
was that it was premature to do so.  There will be an Advisory meeting of
the Consortium in mid-April, and I will raise the subject again, but I make
no promises as to the outcome.
