Thanks Artuu.

x11, please advise.

[Comment 2 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) 2007-10-03 23:27:19 UTC]

Yeah, I saw this stuff. Was thinking it might be convenient to just push 
out a single GLSA for xfs, combined with the previous fix to the init 
script. I'll get something in the tree soon.

1.0.5 is in the tree.
