Sorry .. I have away from my terminal the last few weeks...
Usually every mail gets an reply within max. two days
delay.. (esp. when they are _that_ urgent)
Now to the possible exploit:
<A TARGET=nonlocal
HREF="/external/http://aachalon.de/AMaViS/">AMaViS
0.2.0-pre5</a> has been released, which should fix the
problem using your (slightly modified) patch...
