Well, in an E-Mail conversation I had with Mark Graff last week, he
stated that he is aware of no reports of this bug being exploited, but
the potential exists so it should be fixed asap.  (Now that the
"underground" knows of the problem, I doubt that it'll be long before
exploit scripts start cropping up.
