Security Fix in Open BSD

Looking at the dates, this bug was fixed in under a month. Did the buggy code really get released to production environments that fast? A priori unlikely IMO, which means this "vulnerability" is instead just the normal development process at work. I'm sure we've all committed code with mindbogglingly dumb bugs at one point or another.

A month? I'm getting over a year from my look; the bug was introduced with the original feature in 2001.

Oops, I'm an idiot. Obviously the linked page doesn't say when the original buggy code was introduced; it only gives the last modification timestamp.
