From: Sam Sjogren <sjogren@tgv.com>

I wonder if anyone on this list has concrete information on a
rumour that I'd heard from a friend of a friend of a friend...
Since I don't want to spread rumours, PLEASE don't assume that
what I am about to ask is true unless someone knows for sure,
since I don't.  I'd heard that someone has found a non-exhaustive
way to break DES.  Please follow up if you know for sure about
this.  Otherwise, assume this to be just a rumour without substance.
Thanx in advance.

-Sam
