   It works correctly for all valid scenarios.  I agree that the folks =
that made the typo should have recognized it but the typo was one that =
was semantically very similar to what should have been there.  Only if =
one particular line in a file was maliciously constructed is there an =
issue.  None of this is an excuse.  It's a bug.  I'm just pointing out =
the error in George's statement and in the title of the bulletin from =

  I would have expected this to be tested, the test to fail, and the =
typo to be
  found at that time.
