What I find interesting is this:

This page is supposedly by the person who discovered the exploit(s). 
Towards the end of the page, we see:

The following is the patches'situation in the moment I'm writing:

  Battlefield 1942.....................FIXED only Linux DS 1.6RC2.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, uh.. if the issue is already fixed, all the server needs 
(theoretically) is to be updated to work with the 1.61 client release.. 
  I don't see how this could be taking so long, unless there are 
additional problems.

So.. what's the deal? Andy? Andreas? I know no-one here is blaming you 
guys.. but this sort of problem is much easier to bear if we're kept 
informed as to what's going on!

Cheers,
