That's a danger of course. You can load unknown patches with
"-noloadbang" and/or remove the "shell" external from your path as
first measures. Of course this won't stop a really desperate attacker,
so it's better to run unknown patches under a restricted accound
(like doing a "sudo nobody" first)

However my comment regarding Steffen's patch was meant as a comment
about the general principle he uses.

Ciao
