Yes it's fixed in FreeSec 1.1, which will be released soon (it's just little
bug fixes like this, not a major update).  At this rate it'll be next week
before it's out (the eyrie.Werj.com.au machines are in pieces at the moment
having a major hardware/software upgrade, and once I get them together again
I'm off to the AUUG conference tomorrow).

True, how true.  Having had conversations about FreeSec with the Department
of Defence, I'm sending out notices that FreeSec (all versions) is not
exportable from Australia without an export licence :-(

I can't do anything about the versions that have already been shipped out
of Australia (to tell the truth, the DoD didn't really seem too fussed about
them either, up to a point).

Sigh.  So much for the name "FreeSec".  Maybe I should rename it "AusSec" :-(
