Bug causing multiple registration emails?

A friend of mine was a member of a Geeklog community. Recently, he received multiple (around 25) registration emails with a different randomly-generated password in each one. There was some anger towards him, so it's possible someone exploited a bug on purpose, but it could have been a random glitch. Is there a known bug causing this to happen with or without intervention?

They have not updated their GL release lately. That was a bug that was squashed several versions back. Sorry I can't remember which one fixed it. Somebody will let you know tho'.

This has been addressed in Geeklog 1.3.8. It doesn't reset your password any more but sends instructions on how to set a new password (and if you ignore the emails, your old password will remain valid). It also includes a speed limit, so you will have to wait several minutes before you can request that email again.
bye, Dirk
