thanks for the heads up,
quoting from a recent commit message:

* fixed flex input buffer overflow:
  drbdadm_scanner.fl produced tokens of arbitrary length due to excessive use
  of "+" and "*" modifiers. Now these are replaced with "{x,y}" modifiers, so
  it should no longer segfault.
  Though it may now produce parse errors where it suceeded before, if you
  happen to use 90 character long resource names or the like.


drbd-0.7.11 is about to be officially released within the next two days.
(unless we find some other stopper bug).

cheers,
