The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

yep, appears to be in the libdb package.  I'll fix it tonight; shall I
squeak it in with a "stable" distribution?  And can someone double
check that the libc6 db doesn't have this bug? (it probably doesn't,
but it's worth checking.)

% nm -por /usr/lib/libdb.a | grep snp
/usr/lib/libdb.a:bt_open.o:         U snprintf
