50: In cron(8), make sure argv[] is NULL terminated in the fake popen() and
51: run sendmail as the user, not as root.

93: Cause groff(1) to be invoked with the -S flag, when called by nroff(1),

1.11 jsyn 131: system running an IPsec key management daemon like photurisd or isakmpd
1.1 deraadt 132: will cause the networking subsystem to stop working after a finite amount
