It seems perfectly safe to me too for the reason that Kris mentions.

Tom, could you please elaborate where you see a security hole?

I do agree that creating base types should require a superuser though.
It too seems dangerous just on principle, even if today there's no
actual hole (that we already know of).

pl/java already allows non-superusers to create functions returning cstring and base types built off of these functions.

So in other words, if pl/java is installed we have a security hole
a mile wide.
