I managed to contact him. He's been very kind and gave me permission.  
I took the chance to ask him about the Newton's 2010 bug, if he had  
some (even vague) idea for a workaround / fix, but as I suspected too  
many years have passed since he worked on Newton patches. In his own  
words: "Sorry, but I don't make a habit of retaining technical details  
of all the projects I worked on at Apple in my 14+ years there.  I  
would have to have the entire source base and sources for the last  
patch to be able to fix a bug that I only have a vague memory of now."

It was worth a shot, though! Plus, I think we now have at least  
Eckhart's eyes on that patch :)

Cheers,
Rick
