Oh, they (CollabNet) are aware. They have some fixes for the various
issues, but they aren't going to be fixed until the next release

And yah, it would probably throw off signed messages. But as you note,
it is very rare for somebody in an Open Source community to sign a
message as protection against tampering. Not that useful in an open
environment :-P
