+  o Minor bugfixes (linux seccomp2 sandbox):
+    - Cause a wider variety of unpermitted open() calls to fail with the
+      EACCES error when the sandbox is running. This won't enable any
+      previously non-working functionality, but it should turn several cases
+      from crashes into sandbox warnings. Fixes bug 16106; bugfix on
+      0.2.5.1-alpha.
