!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't you test your "final build" ? Of a *vital* package ?? If possible at
all, on a separate machine ??? Oh, my ...
This kind of *imbecility* gives some *real* arguments to tenants of
commercial development. No need to FUD anybody here : this is *real*
mispractice. Expect a lot of flak from the commercial development side, and
don't fight it : it will have been *well* *earned*.
[ To be fair, the speed with which the bug has been fixed and 0.72-27 made
available is also charcteristic of free software processes. ]
I wonder how much people have been permanently locked out of their *only*
machines by this shortsightedness ... Has someone an idea on how to count
them ?

Of course not. Your day will be the day you'll be hung by the thumbs 'til
the time_t counter wraps around ... ;-].
