Since I'm adding to a thread started with Matthias' security review of
darkhttpd, I'd like to say that I'm impressed by his consistent effort
to review code that few others look at and the consistently high quality
of his findings and write-ups.  Thank you, Matthias!  Also, thank you
SUSE for (apparently) enabling Matthias to spend time on this.

thanks a lot for the recognition!

In the face of the codebase of a complete Linux distribution there are
limits to what our team can do, but we try to invest our resources
efficiently and hope to contribute back to the community this way.
Getting feedback like this for sure motivates us to continue on this
path.

Best Regards

Matthias
