I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Saw some reports about that a few days ago, looks like the effects are more far-reaching than originally predicted.

Everything about this I've seen (on mailing lists, ISS's X-force, etc.) indicate that it's a DoS attack, not arbitrary code. :-/

But anyways, I updated it a couple days ago.  I updated everything I felt comfortable with.  :)

Incidentally, SharpZipLib, being a C# port of zlib, is not affected by this problem.

I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!
