I received a security bug fix diskette 2 days ago (Mar 7, 1991).  The
fix seems to work, I didn't have any difficulties installing it.  A
letter from ISC accompanied the fix, as well as detailed instructions
on the installation procedure.  Although the hole shouldn't have gone
so long without fixing, the ISC folks involved with coordinating the
fix and rolling out the diskettes to customers have done a good job
given such short notice.
