A readable kmem is still a bit no no. Somewhere around here I have small
program that lets you peek at what someone is typing by watching tty clists.
It will let you crash the system; it just takes a little longer (you have
to wait for someone to type in the root password so you can su and cat
/bin/emacs to /dev/null :)
