Thanks Mark, I had wondered but hadn't looked into that :-).

Will apply the patch in the evening and keep an eye on things over
the weekend, golinux briefly mentioned that there were other
amprolla-related concerns but they are fully independent of this

Just added a task to my queue to see if checksums can be an issue
as mentioned on the notes, hopefully I also manage to do that
during the weekend :-).
