Ah, alas, but to name this particular problem is to make it all to obvious,
and the slip of paper with the bug number is about 2500 miles from here...

If you call DEC and ask about "known security problems" and they play
dumb, I'd be even more upset.   If need be, I'll post the problem number
when I get back to the office, but that's about a week from now.
