Well, the upstream patch, at least as it is written now, would require
them to back out their patches to apply.

But regardless if whether or not they fix the segfault issue, that is
NOT a security issue or exploitable.

It might possibly be a Denial of Service mechanism, I guess.

The place to address this is on the bugzilla entry though.  We will
publish the changes Red Hat rolls into the source and the upstream
bugzilla is how to make that happen.
