Builds and tests fine on Debian sid (i386, this is with GCC 4.0) and
woody (i386, ia64).

Martin Schulze confirmed that CAN-2005-1849 was allocated for the
"ENOUGH is not enough" bug.  You should mention both CANs in the
ChangeLog file, for cross-reference purposes.

I wouldn't release the new version on Friday if I were you.  Friday is
a rather unusual day for security updates. 8-) Maybe you could ship a
final patch to the vendors on Friday, and delay the actual release til
Monday or Tuesday?  To be absolute sure, give an advance warning
<vendor-sec at lst.de>, a closed mailing list for prepublication
discussion of security vulnerabilities in free software.  All the
GNU/Linux distributors, *BDSs and so on should be on that list.
