Hi there,

I'm a reporter working on a story about that Safari PWN2OWN bug
(http://www.infoworld.com/article/08/04/16/Apple-patches-prize-winning-bug_1.html)
that Apple patched last week and its relationship to PCRE and (in
particular) to item #3 here.

http://scary.beasts.org/security/CESA-2007-006.html

Is there anyone on the dev team who knows about this and could perhaps help
me understand the facts here, because it looks like you guys had patched
this bug before WebKit and that someone could have found this "zero day"
flaw from looking at your changelogs.

If anyone could help me out, either via telephone or email, I'd really
appreciate it.

Cheers,

Bob
