Bug 253780 is confidential because it contains a reduced testcase explaining how
to implement the exploit. By the way, it isn't quite the same thing as bug
240246, which itself wouldn't mind being confidential, though it's a bit late
for that.

Should this one be reopened to cut down on duplicate reports?

Might be wise. I'm just trying to minimize the noise. How 'bout when the next
one comes in, we leave that open? I have some notion that it'll be a while.
