It has been fixed and uploaded to potato. There has since been another bug found which I've tracked down to a bug in the find package. A new upload should be coming shortly. I'm not clear on when its ok to upload a fix to a stable distribution. This is clearly not a security issue or even a serious problem. Would it still be appropriate to upload to slink? -- Jean Pierre
