Please don't use 'package/inherit' when the package you're defining is a
replacement to the package you're inheriting from.  It creates a package
object with an infinite chain of grafts.  I guess that the infinite
chain gets truncated somewhere in the grafting machinery, but I seem to
recall that this kind of thing has caused real problems in the past.

'package/inherit' is usually the right thing when defining other kinds
of package variants, however.

Thanks again for all of your recent work on improving our security.  It
is a great help.

      Regards,
        Mark
