I cvsupped -STABLE yesterday, and I was just running mergemaster when I
saw:

 # Remove X lock files, since they will prevent you from restarting X11
 # after a system crash.
 #
-rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock /tmp/.X11-unix/*
+rm -f /tmp/.X*-lock
+rm -fr /tmp/.X11-unix

Aren't both the old and new versions vulnerable to symlink attacks?
