It in the OksiD 1.1.6-utf patches, so I guess it was current back in the
2005 timeframe. It may well be the case that things have been fixed in
the meantime.

I don't even know what the fault was.

Greg, you used (I think) to run the patched 1.1.6 for some of your
stuff... Did it manifest this leak?
