Another nice find Bernd, but package names are restricted to include
only:

    lower case letters (a-z), digits (0-9), plus (+) and minus (-) signs,
    and periods (.). They must be at least two characters long and must
    start with an alphanumeric character.

controlfields.html#s-f-Source

Therefore I'm thinking this is a simple programming mistake and not a
security bug.

Thanks
