 libpng10-1.0.41-1.fc10 includes an upstream fix for a memory leak that can
 happen when parsing malformed PNG images, which thus has the potential for
 a DoS attack.

 There will no doubt be a corresponding update for the main libpng package
 too.

 There is no ABI change in this update, and I shall be preparing the same
 update for Fedora 8 and 9.
