Hi W.,

of "Buffer overrun vulnerability?":

I don't believe it is at all. IMHO being written in Delphi - a
language which uses dynamic strings as part of the fundamental
linguistic basis and not fixed sized buffers like C and C++ - would
take it completely away from that kind of issue anyway.
Anyone else got any other views on this?
