Does anyone know who the Postgres security patcher mentioned in this article
is:

http://kernel.sysdoor.com/eng/

Is it that guy who found all the buffer overflows?

Hi Chris,

Just received this from them.  Look like he was trying to claim stuff
that wasn't true.

Thanks for pointing this out Chris.  :)
