  EnGarde Secure Linux is an enterprise class Linux platform engineered
  to enable corporations to quickly and cost-effectively build a complete
  and secure Internet presence while preventing Internet threats.

OVERVIEW
- --------
  This version corrects a bug introduced in 3.25, which was released to
  fix the original SIGCHLD vulnerability, in the new SIGCHLD handling
  which caused defunct/zombie processes in local mode (-l or -L) on some
  systems.  It also fixes a problem where the accepting socket could hang
  under certain conditions which is the common method of use on an EnGarde
  system.

    EnGarde Secure Community 2

  It is recommended that all users apply this update as soon as possible.
