Was getting dangerously close to burnt out, or exhaustion leading to
mistakes, so yesterday I took the day off, aside from spending the morning
babysitting the android build every half hour. (It did finally succeed.)
Today, got back into it, and implemented a fix for CVE-2018-10859 and also
the one case of CVE-2018-10857 that had not been dealt with before.
This fix was really a lot easier than the previous fixes for
CVE-2018-10857.

from many special remotes by default, which is going to be painful for some.
