According to pdg@chinet.chi.il.us (Paul Guthrie): >Posting the source code and binary was very irresponsible. Some of >us were working through ISC's support channels to get this fixed >(and had been promised results). ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ And you *believed* them? Foolish earthling! ISC and Everex have been sitting on this bug for *years*. That's right, *years*. And you call the *whistle-blower* irresponsible?! Posting the source code was a last, desperate attempt to provoke action. Fortunately, it seems to have worked. Considering the ramifications of the bug, posting source was entirely appropriate.
