Well, you can guess what I did.

	cd .../pkgsrc
	cvs -q update -dP
	cd www/ap-php
	make update

It said this in response

	===> Checking for vulnerabilities in ap-php-4.3.10

It proceeded to build and install ap-php-4.3.10, but when I ran 
audit-packages again, I still had the dodgy one. So how come 
audit-packages complains, but pkgsrc is happy? This can't be right. I 
clearly only had pkgsrc for a vulnerable package, so the Checking for 
vulnerabilities should have failed, otherwise you wouldn't need it.

Cheers,
Lloyd
