        Hello, Ken.  What do you think 'causes serious data loss' means?

        This bug, though security-related, is not destroying any data.  It is 
only 
about not forbiding a specific part of an exported tree.  It does not belongs 
to Debian critical bugs.

        I will test your patch in a couple of days.

        Best regards,


                Ender.
