Right. That's an oversight on my part. A corrected version is now
available on ftp.mathematik.th-darmstadt.de:/pub/linux/okir.
Another security-related problem that came to my attention just a few days
ago is that the read_only export flag would not work properly for the latest
one or two versions. The new release fixes that as well, hopefully.
