Probably the use of global variables, something not very popular

How about telling that to the Omega developers?

bad. So perhaps one should let TeX automatically set a stack
size limit, roughly what

stack growth, so when the OS has a mechanism for keeping growth
limited, and when unlimited growth is a known cause for trouble..

If a user unpacks something into his home directory where all sorts
of configuration files are kept, TeX security is the least worry of
the user.
How about retricting the panicking to those cases where a user is
acting in a remotely sane manner?

it appears likely that this will increase. So I advise to prep
