>Description:
	Due to re-factoring of disklabel handling in /stc/security, disklabel's stderr goes into the security report.
	For me, this leads to "partitions a and b overlap" messages in the security report. Overlap is intentional since a is a RAIDframe component and b the dump space (swap partition inside the RAID).
>How-To-Repeat:
	Generate overlapping disc partitions, run /etc/security.
>Fix:

 Dumps work on RAID so you don't need to do this hack anymore (I think).
