i'd think pretty low, being opensource i would expect a wee bit more 
peer review would happen before code is merged into the source tree.  
esp. with the whole SCO fiasco going on with GNU/Linux right now...i'd 
be more worried if i was a large CISCO client right now, it looks like 
they yanked the code off an internal solaris machine, so who knows what 
other info they have.
