Hey,

I'm fine with finishing this work to its bitter end. I just need to get
some clear and concise guidance and some final specifications from
someone. E.g. Do XYZ, that's what we need, period. It looks like this
thread has served to specify exactly that.

Indeed, this can be a security issue in that local users can crash the
machine. Something like this, while perhaps not applicable for a
security advisory, is certainly valid for errata. It's a pretty big
issue for anybody running with linux compat.
