/* 
Two points.
Regarding local versus remote, look at it this way:  You have a 100%
secure system.  Then you install NASM.  Now a user FROM THE NETWORK can
send you some tainted assembly code for you to assemble and he can
compromise your account.

Its a user error.  Your not remotely exploiting anything but the trust
from the user.
