silc question - insecure memory

[cdowns <cdowns () angrypacket com>]

Good Evening,
   while screwing around tonight checking memory for the SSH2 
advisory.  I noticed passphrase and complete sessions from silc in 
memory. I dont know if this is normal for silc ( I wouldnt think it 
would be ) but all you need to do it is:

cdowns@Vader:~$ sudo dd if=/dev/mem of=/home/cdowns/mem.dump | less 
~cdowns/mem.dump

then just search for you key phrase.
