Update: Third party Treo bug fix
Someone has coded a third party fix for the recent Treo bug.
He posted his email to Bugtraq.

I will be providing an alternate URL in the following week.

On a related note, two days ago I emailed the CEO's of Verizon Wireless (my carrier) and Palm with my concerns about Palm not patching this bug. Today, I rec'd an email from a Palm VP inviting me to a phone conference on Monday or Tuesday of next week. I'll let readers know if anything useful comes out of the phone conference.
