FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

- * Someone other than Dean has to do a security/correctness review on
- psprintf(), bprintf(), and ap_snprintf(). In particular these routines
- do lots of fun pointer manipulations and such and possibly have overflow
- errors. The respective flush_funcs also need to be exercised.
- o Jim's looked over the ap_snprintf() stuff (the changes that Dean
- did to make thread-safe) and they look fine.

WIN32 1.3 FINAL RELEASE SHOWSTOPPERS:

- * SECURITY: check if the magic con/aux/nul/etc names do anything
- really bad

* SECURITY: numerous uses of strcpy and strcat have potential
for buffer overflow, someone should rewrite or verify
they're safe
