Hello,

I have fixes for this, but I lost contact to my mentor long ago and
gave up on it, therefore I cannot upload them.

Very few people are using this (~10-30 maybe), and they can get it 
from my site directly. This is only useful for 2.4 kernels, 2.6 has
something better integrated. Upstream is dead.

Maybe it is best to drop this package, even if just to drop
another responsibility of the security team.

I will be on vacation for a week now, afterwards I can help resolve any
problems if it is in my limited power as non-DD package owner.

regards,
Jürgen Strobel
