That's good intuition. I just did a "apt-get dist-upgrade" on dadadada.net and now either my upgraded exim, my upgraded spamassassin, or my upgraded imapd is corrupting my inbox, and imap (tunneled over my upgraded openssh) seems about 5x slower since the upgrade. Too much change.. All at once. I should limit myself to 2 or 3 packages a day. It's just that there seems to have been a bit of a flurry of security trouble across Linuxland this week.
