BTW...unified diffs are much nicer to look at.

Was this just a Linux problem, or are other OS's vulnerable in the same
way?  Our FreeBSD box didn't seem vulnerable.


FreeBSD has some similar looking problems eg in rnetrc(). As to
vendors. There have been bugs found but without the vendors source
who knows. There is a generic resolv+ bug (trim domain overrun) I dont
know if BSD has it.
