-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1

A buffer overflow has been discovered in the addnewword() function of
Typespeed's network code.

Workaround: Don't run typespeed in multiplayer mode.

Solution:  Upgrade to >= 0.5.1.  (0.5.0 fixed the security bug, but
introduced some functionality bugs fixed in 0.5.1.)
