Do you mean the rexec.py module, or all the restricted features?

I would like to see the whole scheme working someday. I'm not sure how
safe it will ever be, but the problems I've seen so far are due to some
language change introduced. I belive that once the language features are
mature, these problems will be reduced.

As a side note, I'll have a look at that bug, if nobody has done so yet.
