It has been brought to our attention that the patchset requires version
0.68 or higher of FCGI.pm if you are running a FastCGI deployment.  A
too-low version of this module will manifest as outgoing mail failing to
be sent, and errors in the logs resembling:

  Could not send mail with command `[...]`:
     Can't locate object method "FILENO" via package "FCGI::Stream"

RT 3.8.11 and 4.0.5 already require version 0.75 or higher, to ensure
that you are protected from CVE-2011-2766, which affects mod_fastcgi:
