 Well, I must say that I found this info enlightening. Did anyone actually
think about this security problem? Does it exist in MiNT? Anyway, what was
your motive posting this rather insulting reply, Teemu? As far as I know,
this is the MiNT-list. MiNT is a Unix-like environment. Kellis wanted to
know/inform about/if MiNT has this problem. So, I'd say this wasn't "just
quoting" a book. I, for one, found it informative as I didn't know
this....
