MaraDNS has had, in its 11 years of existence, 11 CVE security
reports.  4 of those are ones I found myself (2002-2097, 2011-5055,
2011-5056, and 2012-0024) and the other seven by third parties (albeit
two: 2008-0061 and 2010-2444, as simple non-security bugs).  So, yeah,
another one may pop up.

Of the 11 bugs, only two (2010-2444 and 2012-1570) come from post-1.0
code.  MaraDNS 1.0 was a somewhat sloppy rush job.
