Security Professionals,

Please see post:

I discovered this bug in January 2004 and reported it to Microsoft on
January 28, 2004.

After working with Microsoft, I decided to wait until the bug was fixed
before announcing it. In my opinion, this is part of responsible
disclosure.

I hope Microsoft will publicly reply to this post and confirm that I was
the individual who originally reported the bug to them.

Congratulations. You just became another data point in the 'Microsoft fixes
bugs the fastest' survey done recently (which defined "fastest" as the time
between announcement and patch).....
