Last billing there Neil, though I note its in alphabetical order. It
does seem a little thick headed that cert, in its wisdom, did not simply
refer people to several 8lgm advisories already on the subject. As for the
"mail.local" not been perfect - what are they advising? the installation of
something less that perfect as far as root-bugs are concerned?
