Great news!

Heh, I think I'll be busy for a while longer. :-) The public
announcement just hit freebsd-announce, and there are a lot of
questions coming in as a result of that.  A few early birds got ahold
of the bad packages before I got them updated on the web site.

Then there there are the major users outside of FreeBSD to notify,
like Lycos and IMDB and XFree86 and others ... And lots more binaries
to make ... Nope, I don't think I'm done yet.  This makes the
jakarta-tomcat debacle look like a picnic.

On the positive side, I may have the distinction of creating the
world's only S1G bug. :-)

BTW, we have Jun to thank for noticing the problem almost instantly
and reporting it to me.

You're welcome.  It is not good, but the only thing to do is grind
through it and try to minimize the damage.

Once again, thanks to all of you for getting your mirrors updated
quickly and for helping me test the binaries.

John
