If it's the one that's in applied crypto 2 (p.339) and ddj, then it's only partial crack on a low number of rounds (according to AC2). Schneier still thought it was secure at the time of the publishing of AC2, but then he may be biased. (and since this is crypto why not be paranoid, eh?)
Its only the partial crack, from what I know. It still makes me nervous, and besides there are very good cryptosystems like 3DES that are available and well studied. .pm
