I'm working on a related tool (a wiki site), and I think that there should 
be a collective effort in enucleating the security weakness of the TT 
system (thanks Randal).

The simplest thing would be to to automatically choose a "safe" 
environment, with respect to files, cpu, memory, etc. 

I've tried using the Safe module, but Randal's example still escapes. 
Should one set up a chrooted subprocess and send it the code to be 
evaluated?
