  Modified files:
    ftp/wu-ftpd          Makefile 
    ftp/wu-ftpd/files    md5 
  Log:
  Add a PATCH_FILE to close a security hole in wu-ftpd.
  
  Quoted from wu-ftpd group's accouncement:
  
      Due to insufficient bounds checking on directory name lengths which can
      be supplied by users, it is possible to overwrite the static memory
      space of the wu-ftpd daemon while it is executing under certain
      configurations.  By having the ability to create directories and
      supplying carefully designed directory names to the wu-ftpd, users may
      gain privileged access.
