First, it is good you found the problems.

However, you really should have notified the developers first. And giving
joke advice as a solution isn't the height of responsibility. I have taken
the liberty of addressing that issue on BugTraq, if it passes moderation.

Having said that, I personally look forward to you telling us about problems
you find, and helping audit this codebase. After all, if you found it
someone else can too.

But I hope you don't suffer too much for the repercussions that will
undoubtedly be voiced here -- you did, afterall, make somewhat of a 'splash'
when diving in. :-)
