The other mirrors should have it shortly.
These releases correct a potential crash when some *Serv commands are
given too few or no parameters followed by whitespace. On Linux systems
using glibc 2.2, this problem is (coincidentally) already worked around due
to a bug in the glibc strtok() function--however, if you are using version
4.5 and have not installed freshly since release 4.5.20 or earlier, you may
still be vulnerable, and you should reinstall from the tar.gz release.
Other systems may also be vulnerable to this problem. All users of
Services should upgrade as soon as possible.
Thanks go to Joao Luis Marques Pinto <Lamego at PTlink.net> for finding
and reporting this bug.
