This bug was the same as CAN-2003-0056 which was fixed in 2.6-1.3.1 in woody
and 2.7-1 in unstable/testing.

There never was a bug report assigned to the package since it was found and
fixed quickly.

If there is a way to cause a heap overflow in these versions please let me
know, until then I know it to be safe.
