 Yes, thank you.
 
 I don't have access to any hosts running current today, but I did 
 verify that the exploit I described in the PR is blocked, after 
 pulling up the changes in the message that attached to the PR, to 
 netbsd-2-0. (src/bin/pax/ar_io.c,v1.42 is a prerequisite for them, 
 by the way.)
