What bypassed security? BTreeFolder or the patch (I doubt that this
patch does any harm to security))

I have to admit that I neighter know BTreeFolder internals nur that I
use it.  I just wanted to give sume support to a Debian user who had

Security issues about BTreeFolder might have been handled by FreePM
authors - I just do not know about that.
