  OK : here is question for you paranoid sysadmins ((not that there's
  anything wrong with that) it's a good thing)

  Is there a way to test for compiled-in back-doors to say - a
  python, PHP or a perl interpreter.

  Could any of you sysadmins caught that little hickup in the JVM?

  I'm old enough to have remembered "The Bomb" as in cold war, duck
  and cover etc.

  Methinks todays' "The Bomb" is cyber security breaches.
