See, I'm starting to come up with a way of upgrading the hundreds of 
servers I deal with that run a non-standard distro.  There will be no 
upstream fix, so I gotta roll my own (and distribute it on my own).

So, like any sane person, I go looking for the sources and such... 
obviously from the original source (GNU).

I see a nice tarball from Feb.  And then 25 paches in the patches 
directory.  And looking at the patch sources, I probably need to apply 
all of them in order.  Talk about irritating.

*sigh*.

onward! (with popcorn, if anyone gets the reference).
