Not heard of this myself, and I can't really find any documentation on
it either... and the next guy in the thread apparently got the exploit
and couldn't make it work - looks like a confusion with the deattack.c
bug from February (?) this year, which affects < v2.2, IIRC.

Well; I'm not worried ;)

Cheers,

Alex.
