below for more information. Also, new Pine packages are provided since
these are built together... why not? Might as well upgrade that too,
while I'm fixing the fake security problem. :-)


Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/imapd-4.64-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to imapd-4.64.
 A buffer overflow was reported in the mail_valid_net_parse_work function.

 However, this function in the c-client library does not appear to be called
 from anywhere in imapd. iDefense states that the issue is of LOW risk to
 sites that allow users shell access, and LOW-MODERATE risk to other servers.
 I believe it's possible that it is of NIL risk if the function is indeed
 dead code to imapd, but draw your own conclusions...
 (* Security fix *)
+--------------------------+");
