Had it been a security flaw I would have looked for a security list and posted 
atleast twice. With this bug, I posted, gave it sometime, and went to bugtraq 
cause I figured it wouldn't be a big deal and maybe someone on that list would 
know something I didn't.

Glad it's fixed, and thanks for the info.
