[Bug 424597] Re: bwbasic buffer overflow in variable assignments

As an attacker, I can gain control of the process through shell commands
or through stack overflows, so if shell command access is "by design",
stack overflows are no worse (from a security perspective).  This is
absolutely a bug, since the process will crash due to the stack
protector checks, but I don't see how it's a security issue.
