the code was posted to the list because we are getting several tenths of
mails per day asking us to do so.
As far as how useless it is to you....
well it works for us, read the last part of my message carefully and you'll
understand why it 'broken' for you.
altho. it would really be helpfull if you elaborate on the matter...
not much..
just telling exactly  WHAT IS BROKEN SO IT CAN BE FIXED

i just reposted a diff as attachment since apparently my MUA wrapped
the original one.

sincerely,

another explanation for why its broken for you may be found if
one analyses the signatures in both of our mails.
btw, im CC: bugtraq, since you decide to post  to
the list instead of notifying us of our brokeness first.
bad bad bad evil crackers dont notify the vendors first!
