     - Fix a heap overflow bug where an adversary could cause heap
-      corruption.  Since the contents of the corruption would need to be
-      the output of an RSA decryption, we do not think this is easy to
-      turn in to a remote code execution attack, but everybody should
-      upgrade anyway.  Found by debuger.  Bugfix on 0.1.2.10-rc.
