I hear people say this from time to time, but I have heard no one ever name
an exploit that has taken advantage of the PPTP protocol (other than an
exploit that takes advantage *before* the data is encypted, or *after* it is
encrypted at the endpoints)

Not that I am a Bill Gates fan, in fact, far from it, but what are the
severe flaws that have been exploited?
