Thank you for checking Arne. Seeing this still being the case on x86-64
was an unpleasant surprise.

So, that's two full years VSI have had to look at this and they have
done nothing.

I wonder if they are sitting on any other issues that are just a weakness
at the moment, but may become an actual vulnerability if either further
probing is done, or if another unrelated issue is discovered and these
are chained together with that new issue.

For those of you with the premium support contracts who are worried about
this, then a formal _polite_ request to VSI to answer the above question
and to ask when the DECnet issues will be fixed might be in order.

You may have more luck getting them to fix these issues than I have had.

Simon.
