Yes it's unfortunate... it seems like security researchers are upping their game in the post-heartbleed world (whatever that means)? I guess that's good... better good security researchers do this stuff than some other unspecified groups... but kind of a headache here? :) Anyway, new patch! I don't know what to do about the security-updates branch so I'll let you apply/push it. - Chris
