1.187 deraadt 83: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),
84: to avoid various groff features which may be security issues. On the

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