We also need to put code into exec(2) to verify that the binary we're about
to execute does not suffer from Turings halting problem (ie: contains no
endless loops) 

We might as well inspect for buffer overflows at the same time.

Anyway, back in this universe:  We should not stick a lot of stuff into
our boot-time scripts, they are slow enough already.
