75: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
76: to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the
77: whole, this is not really a security issue, but it was discussed on
78: BUGTRAQ as if it is.

110: <a name=pfkey></a>
111: <li><font color=#009000><strong>RELIABILITY FIX</strong></font><br>
112: PF_KEY socket operations leak internal kernel resources, so that a
113: system running an IPsec keymanagement daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
114: will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
115: of time.
