The 'jump to error' support would make a good attack target for this

Compile_Default_Compiler only has an effect on the regular expressions
used when parsing compiler output.  The variables to worry about are
those that determine what programs get run via, e.g., shell_cmd, etc.
For example, XTerm_Pgm in runpgm.sl is one such variable.

Sorry, wasn't commenting on any specific action but observing that doing a 'compile,jump_to_error' would load a file and jump straight past the header. Its a very plausible way to exploit the security hole.
