   * SECURITY: Downported security patch. Official new upstream version 
     still not available. Quoting upstream author from CVS log: 
     "fixed unsafe sscanf usage. reported in iDEFENSE Security 
      Advisory 09.26.2002: Exploitable Buffer Overflow in gv" 
     The original CVS patch and the version I slighly adjusted to apply 
     against 1.1.96 are in debian/patches/idefense.*.diff.
