It wasn't that, it was the fact that the browser is responsible for 
certificates for things that have nothing to do with browsing.

Sure, you can screw up any OS, but Winblows makes it easy.

For example, your example of CLRLIB QSYS as a way to blow up OS/400 is 
totally bogus:

You can't DLTLIB QSYS either:
