Well, it _has_ been placed on LWN under the moniker 'Multiple buffer overflows
in PostgreSQL'. Not good, as everyone who claims to be a security expert
*knows* that all buffer overflows are the bane of a secure system.... It
isn't a headline item, though -- which is why it took me a minute to find it.

But even LWN isn't slashdot. It would be nice if we've dodged that bullet.
