Ann,

You should probably send the notification to slashdot as well. You know
it's going to end up there anyway so it might as well come from an official
source and it would be a good way to get the word out to everyone at the
same time. I'll leave it to you to worry about the timing but maybe do it
soon after you notify the Interbase lists. It would be a great way to
light a fire under the butts of the db admins and get them to apply the
patch as soon as possible if you let them know that you will be posting the
notice to public sites such as slashdot soon.
