That means that either: * The NSA found it *amazingly* quickly (they're very good at what they do, but I don't believe them have superhuman talents); orYou seriously think the NSA *isn't* watching the commits to security-relevant open source? Remember - it was a bonehead bug, it's *not* unreasonable for somebody who was auditing the code to spot it. Heck, there's a good chance that automated tools could have spotted it.
