Why is that a problem? Unless somebody could execute the code on the
boxthen it is not a threat - closed systems, like WWW servers (most
servers like
that really) should not be in any danger.
Two words: buffer overflow. You don't always have to have a shell to execute
code on a closed system. What is a "closed system" anyway? Is that like
"computer security"?

Ok, Point taken - but if anything has problems with those two words
then a bit of code that crashes the box is not the only way of
bringing things down..
Yes, it's smaller and probobly easier to get in though..
