Well, maybe. But... Anyone who follows internet security problems will be aware that 'insufficient validation of user input' is responsible for a great many software vulnerabilities. Should a locally-stored config file be considered 'user input' in this context? In the short-run, clearly not: Charles has enough trouble on his hands just fixing major bugs without adding extra code to validate the contents of pan's own config files. But, in the long run it's a problem which definitely needs to be solved. This is an ideal research project for some eager computer science grad student.
