RE: Locally exploitable races? OpenBSD

["Robert Mooney" <rjmooney@aboveground.cx>]

I am still trying to understand the philosophy.  This seems to go against the
principles of the project.  If it's public, at least, shouldn't it be fixed?

I'm sorry, I would accept it and move on maybe if I knew more about the kernel,
but unfortunately, I don't.  I rely on you guys to understand the stuff I don't,
so please don't take this as harassment.  I appreciate your work.
