for the record, most/all of the unaddressed issues were either minor,
non-issues (requiring a malicious user), or unsupported (i.e. safe-mode
bypassing).  if you feel otherwise you should address the issues
specifically.

i hope you've never been given the impression otherwise.  we spent
several weeks digging up and testing the fixes from php's cvs
repositories for the latest security advisories, which is a difficult
and thankless effort.


anyway, i've had an upload prepared since the day before yesterday, i'll
upload it some time today.
