So, what is that now?

- a security leak, which must be fixed
- rather an inconvenience, which should be fixed?

Does that bug deserve still the severity critical? If not I propose
to lower the severity to important, keep that bug open until the
support for oldstable has ended and close the bug then. For now I
mark that bug as not found in 2.0.2-30sarge4 and found in
1.0.7+20011202-7.7 .
