Note to others (and maybe deanwebb didn't notice) this is from 2002. Not a new vulnerability needing to be patched. Had me worried for a minute. It is still funny. Hey, we fixed this. Now it just crashes.

Right you are... but it was in this week's Cisco security roundup email, as the crashy thing is new.

I gave up on that automated Cisco email notification service for that exact reason, getting very old information quite frequently.
