Just to follow up, the pgp signature on this advisory as it was delivered
to this list didn't match.  The reason is that some tabs in the above
lines were converted to spaces somewhere between when I posted it and
when it was relayed to the list.  If in doubt, you can find the
advisory at ftp://ftp.xfree86.org/pub/XFree86/Security/XFree86-SA-1998:01.asc,
and verify this.
