Or, they could just cut to the chase and put up Unca Ilfak's patch for now. But as to what flew over the transom on DSLR, definitely needs more salt. :) I can understand weirdities with more exotic setups, but our lab rats are pretty much your standard issue XPee Pro SP2 with nothing changed on them. I've never seen chunks fly so far. Serious wall and ceiling decorating out of that build. And still trying to figure out why the number on it was KB912919 which didn't line up with the KB on their site. If it WAS malware, it was a dud. At 01:40 AM 1/4/06, Unca Matthew wrote:

A sort of nightly build, if you will, to tear a page from the open-source book. The Listons of the world might say "See, what took you so long!", try out these interim patches, and then immediately have their answer. People are asking for it, and I'm glad, for one that MS has the restraint not to release such code upon the general public. After all, if Microsoft released one patch like that to RTM, I think we can all agree on *EXACTLY* what that would do to the uptake rates of future patches, possibly for years to follow. - -- "Social Darwinism: Try to make something idiot-proof, nature will provide you with a better idiot." -- Michael Holstein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDu23Bfp4vUrVETTgRAw30AKCJL/EzoX5Mv7jrp2uoMUwmz+JsRACfQU7N CQWXC/KtO1tl3Fdii+Ylu+M= =Cpuk -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Fun and Misc security discussion for OT posts. https://linuxbox.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/funsec Note: funsec is a public and open mailing list.
