[Security-Discuss] latest libxpm update on 9.2 and undefined symbol s_popen

Hello everyone

I'm still running an old 9.2 box and installed the latest 
libxpm4 update (libxpm4-3.4k-27.2.92mdk).
When I now start xmms in a terminal, it prints out
"/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4: undefined symbol: s_popen"
but then starts and works normally.

I searched for "s_popen" on Google and found the page of
Thomas Biege:
http://www.suse.de/~thomas/tools/secproglib/
"s_popen" is a function of his SecProgLib and he also is
the one who found the vulnerability in libxpm and worked on
the patch. It looks like he somehow left a reference to s_popen 
of his SecProgLib in this patch.

This is not a real problem as xmms still starts and works, but it
looks a bit odd. Maybe someone wants to have a look at it and check
whether this really is ok? I don't have enough time. :(

Michi
