phex security rules not working?

it might be that the rules are only checked when collecting IPs... meaning when they first enter Phex from any network source.
...but already collected and cached IPs might not be checked again before a connection attempt is made...

I just built the latest version from CVS to test this issue. I deleted all the files in my phex configuration directory (~/.phex) and and created a new security.xml with a rule as follows:

Code:

        <ip-access-rule>
            <description>Deny all.</description>
            <isDenyingRule>true</isDenyingRule>
            <isDisabled>false</isDisabled>
            <triggerCount>0</triggerCount>
            <expiryDate>9223372036854775807</expiryDate>
            <isDeletedOnExpiry>false</isDeletedOnExpiry>
            <addressType>3</addressType>
            <ip>00000000</ip>
            <compareIP>FFFFFFFF</compareIP>
        </ip-access-rule>

Starting phex results in no connections. However, if I activate Ultrapeer mode, the security rule is bypassed and all connections are allowed.
