Two more responses to my question just came in -- from Arnold Sutter and Dr.Tom
Blinn. Thank you. I'm listing Tom's response because it contains some info
about the recent buffer overflow security issue:
DU4.0D patch kit #3 supercedes (replaces) patch kit #2. I am not going to
tell you that patch kit #2 is "fully contained" in patch kit #3 because there
might be patches that were in #2 that have been withdrawn from #3 because they
were found to create more problems than they solved. But functionally, #3 is
the replacement for #2.
Some of the recent discussions about buffer overflow problems were reported to
us AFTER patch kit #3 was released; they are fixed in the short term through
the separate patch that has been discussed; they will be fixed in the long
term in future kits, where they will be integrated.
