i haven't had any issues with sequences myself, but i think it won't hurt
to include the patch.

apropos patches: i've just packaged 2.8.0 for debian (yay, loads of 
patches gone!) and found two improvements that i hadn't committed to cvs. 
the commit is done now, and i think these are useful enough to get into
the next release-candidate.

* posix doesn't require $HOSTNAME, but misc/exmhwrapper uses /bin/sh
  and still assumes $HOSTNAME is present. the fix is to export the variable
  if necessary, e.g. if your /bin/sh is dash or some other stricter shell.

* i've also made audit logging a configurable option.

apart from those minor bits 2.8.0 works fine here.

regards
az
