Sorry, I missed the point I was aiming at, I guess. I wasn't aiming for fixable bugs; I see these things as, with great effort, holding up your foot at an awkward angle so that it ends up right at the business end of your primed and lit medieval cannon. We can jump through hoops to stop those particular examples, but I'd rather spend time and effort to fix *real* bugs instead. I was just showing that if you want to crash Python, you need neither 'ctypes' nor 'dl'. I do agree a warning is suitable to both of those modules, though if anyone wants to nitpick, similar modules might be added to marshal and cPickle (and pickle, too!), when feeding invalid input. Those modules are more in the awkward-foot-angle terrain for me, though. -- Thomas Wouters <thomas at xs4all.net> Hi! I'm a .signature virus! copy me into your .signature file to help me spread!
