It was mentioned in several 2600 articles in the current issue. The reason I
brought it up was to point out that it existed. In the case of the ASULUG (to
which I also posted this) someone said that they wished they had known about
this a few weeks(?) ago when helping a friend recover his NT system. I didn't
bring this up as being an exploit of the fs.
