Good job with the prompt response guys!  I read about the
vulnerability online after i'd already installed the update this
morning, which was nice. "Oh, so that's what that update was for.." ;)

I'm guessing this could be a big problem in the non-UNIX world seeing
as how many apps statically link zlib (it being BSD licensed and
all).. sucks to be them.

FYI, anyone that's running any servers you should read this:
