Heh heh heh...

Well, the rules of the game are that if we feel it is important  
enough to change the behavior and inform our users, then the reporter  
deserves a shirt!

However, there's always the question of just what should the design  
of the shirt be?

We do have a fallback option available if we can't figure out how to  
explain an attack in few enough words to fit on a t-shirt.  We can  
always write "I hacked the Tahoe LAFS!  But the margin of this shirt  
is too small to contain the proof.".

;-)

Regards,

Zooko

P.S.  But actually I think we can come up with a more specific design  
than that for Christian Grothoff's attack...
