You assume the former but bet the latter? <g>

I downloaded the full thing, including the source.  You lose - I 
compiled it myself.  I also use SLRN as my newsreader, which I also 
compile along with S-LANG - only because I don't like to wait for 
someone else to do it (J.E. Davis only distributes the .tar.gz 
source).

Yes, I did study the code.  But I know enough not to rely on myself.  
I trusted the author and those experts that analyzed the code.

The 5.x series is massive.  I doubt there has been anywhere near the 
scrutiny that 2.6.x received.
