* status: new => closed * resolution: => wontfix Comment: I sympathise. But the basic problem is that when used as a CGI script, the command-line arguments come from an untrusted source, and most people wouldn't know that they need to use `-no-rtsopts` with CGI. Furthermore the consequences could be disastrous, so I don't think we had much choice here - placing the responsibility on the user to close a security hole explicitly with an obscure flag is just wrong.
