  Heh.  That's a questionable statement, at best:

http://www.cvedetails.com/vulnerability-list/vendor_id-64/product_id-144/ISC-Bind.html

> Total number of vulnerabilities : 72


  BTW, was it totally irrational of me to be so chuffed to see CGF using the
term "administering" a server rather than "administrating"?  I really dislike
the latter usage.
