[to get permission to post AT&T source code.]

Given the egregious nature of this bug and that it came from an AT&T release,
it would seem quite reasonable for AT&T to post an apology and their fix.
Of course, it probably wouldn't work on ISC's code, but it could provide
a basis for a fix ISC could post.

I wonder if AT&T is embarassed at all.

Given all the flames directed at ISC, I'm surprised people haven't flamed
AT&T.  Maybe they have means to detect such messages sent over AT&T lines....
