Can someone please state, for the record, definitively and precisely what this "security issue" is? The fact that PS is a turing complete language isn't a security issue, beyond the fact that you shouldn't blindly execute untrusted PS. (Just like you shouldn't blindly execute make files, or C code, or perl scripts...) Perhaps I've missed something, but everything that I've read in the threads so far amounts to people either assuming that there's an issue and not defining it, or attempting to figure out where the issue is.
