Thanks for noticing this.  I'm aware of the issue, but it is the
official version claims Feb 29th:

	http://216.127.76.78/~neosecur/index.php?pagina=advisories&id=8

And my letter has been bounced before I have decided to commit it as-is.

I'm inclined in keeping it there until some of us can *actually* contact
the author to confirm the discovery date.  Replacing an official (while
it appears to be wrong) date with a guessed value (we will never know if
it is or is not wrong, and I personally infer it should be March 1st) is
more or less pointless.

BTW.  What's your opinion about the fix?  Without having a correct
filtering of user input, one can launch XSS attacks which poses users in
danger.

Cheers,
