 (c) 1999 babcia padlina ltd. <babunia () FreeBSD lublin pl>

 bug in fts_print function allows to overwrite any file in system, when
 running /etc/security script (executed from 'daily' scripts).

 affected systems:
   - freebsd (all versions)
   - probably openbsd/netbsd

 fix:
   - limit root's coredump size
   - patch libc
