Oh yeah, I think it does. Double bummer.

Ah, I understand--that's the same thing we had to do for CPX, except
it was the 2.5.x series we were having problems with. 2.6.16 fixed
things again for CPX but apparently broke something else for GD. Heh.

Maybe you or Wilson could send us a little something (via
suggest@xxxxxxxxxxxx) that exploits the problem so we can check it
when we do future upgrades of these libs.  If I recall, there is also
a local exploit (buffer overflow, if I recall) for libxml2 which was
the real impetus for us moving ahead on it.
