So, rather than waiting for me to track down the optimization bug with
libiberty and releasing 4.1, I've branched the 4.0 release to
gnats-4_0-patches.  So far, I've rolled in the following string
formatting changes to misc.c:

2004-09-06  Hans-Albert Schneider  <[email protected]>

	* misc.c (gnats_strftime): If we have to interpret %z ourselves,
	avoid a buffer overflow with 10 or more %z in format string.  (log_msg):
	Fix format string bug (in calling syslog()) described in
	http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnats/2004-06/msg00028.html and in
	http://www.zone-h.org/advisories/read/id=3D4889

2004-06-11  Jon Meredith  <[email protected]>

	* misc.c (gnats_strftime): added check for +/- at the start of the
	string to support SCO OpenServer.  The undocumented %z does not have a
	'+' on for positive offsets, so the return from get_curr_date() cannot
	be parsed by get_date().  (Closes: patch #1461)

I don't see any more potential security problems listed in the
ChangeLog's.  I plan on tagging this change as the 4.0.1 release.  If
you know of any other changes that should absolutely be included in this
release, let me know ASAP.
