Chris,

That's as well because I see a related but bigger issue coming up.
Let's fix both at once, in due time.

When you are done with this biggest patch, could you look at the patch I
sent last week, about securing the delete queue?
Once that is done I will send a patch fixing the bug found by Jason 
Tishler (Recent security improvements breaks proftpd).
