If the rebol binary is in cgi-bin and let's say cgi-bin is accessable to
the outside world as http://www.carlos_domain/cgi-bin,
then what happens if someone points there browser to
http://www.carlos_domain/cgi-bin/rebol ??
The result should be that rebol loads, the user gets a server
error and rebol stays resident. And everytime this is repeated,
another image of rebol is loaded into memory, potentially
releaving the server of all memory.
I've had ISPs make a similar to me and declined.
