I also said "these PHP apps are popular enough for me to notice traffic 
from a worm going after them"--obviously I know that it's the apps that 
have the holes.

It's a shame that PHP (the language and the interpreter), new as it is, 
didn't make it harder to write security holes.  And that coders writing 
since PHP was invented haven't learned from all the holes in BIND, 
sendmail, ...
