We all agree it is not a very likely possibility, but I wouldn't rule it
out completely just yet until more information from Sun becomes
available.
There are a lot more relevant issues to discuss here regarding this
vulnerability, however, and we can move on from that moot point for now.
Thanks for your help and Sun's, Casper, but we would all like more
information.
