   Upon further study, I'm led to believe that Slackware is unaffected   
   (possibly even in Slackware-Current).  The malicious code apparently   
   specifically targets RedHat and Debian derivative build environments,   
   and at least on my Slackware-15.0 and older systems, liblzma is not   
   linked into the OS-provided sshd binary.
