Whoops... a couple people pointed out that I don't have to worry
about marshalled data, because it doesn't execute anything unless
I specifically exec it. (I should have realized this.) But as
the other thread has indicated there still are problems in the
cases where you want to execute code and somehow restrict it from
doing too much damage.
