Thanks to everyone who contributed responses.

I've now updated REBOL.org to use Romano's load-header script rather than a 
direct load/all/header in all the places (lots!) we load a header to get values 
about a script.

This was a potentially damaging integrity exposure (my old-timer IBMese for 
hackable security flaw) in the Library.....

.....Any one could have inserted active code in a header and contributed it 
as a script.  That code would have been executed on the server when we did the 
load/header. The result could have been nasty.

This remains a potential danger for any REBOL-based CGI site that loads 
headers of contributed code in the old manner.....If you have such a site, please 
check your code and see if you need to replace load/header with Romano's script.

I'm impressed (as usual) with the usefulness of this ML and the helpfulness 
of the people on it.  Less than 24 hours from reporting a problem to having a 
fix available. Outstanding, everyone!!

Thanks everyone again!
Sunanda.
