I would send any information you have to Zwillinger or any other community rep in the community digest. Maybe also send it to Second Measures or Positron (if he's accepting PMs).|

(Would be most obvious when bidding on things or listing them.) Is there some way to get a bug report to someone who knows what a stack is and why it is bad to treat a random hunk of it as an address and write to that address? I'm trying to find the line between "make it clear that this is serious" and "avoid giving bad people any ideas". |
The community reps will definitely see it as soon as possible and alert the devs. But if a dev catches it at the same time, you just might get yourself Bug Hunter.

Thx, bug report sent.
Hopefully this gets fixed soon, lest we log in sometime to see this:
