The main problem is that this code base is *OLD* (1995) and a lot of things
have been fixed (not only buffer overflows but protocol problems) since this

I see backporting all the modifications from 1.2.27 as a non trivial task and
maybe not worth the big effort when you can install the latest with the
port...
