Kaffe Exploit is almost finished... second warning for format strings issue.

[Jim Pick]

I don't think anybody behind those email addresses was paying any attention

We've got a lot of work to do on the security front yet, but it would be
good if we can get rid of some of the obvious bugs as soon as they are
identified.

Cheers,

 - Jim
