On what grounds do you think this is probable? Certainly the modern
BSDs don't have this particular bug (someone already said FreeBSD
didn't, and I can say with fair assurance NetBSD doesn't - certainly
*my* NetBSD boxes don't, and I'm sure I didn't touch that particular
setting. Given its genesis, OpenBSD probably not only is safe now but
has been as long as it's existed.)
I *think* this may even have been fixed back in the 4.3 days, but I
can't recall for sure; that was too long ago.
