Hopefully this package will not live up to it's other Washington University
packages as far as lack of security goes...

If anyone runs a processor-hungry search process on a machine with
important data and/or mission-critical software, WU's reputation in the
security department is the least of their problems. :)
I don't have access to any really good source validators, but I could
always feed the code to splint and see what it turns up. Might be
interesting.
The only people who would likely find such software interesting to target
would be political "hacktivists". That is, until some idiot hooks the
package into a system for gene splicing. Then, I'd expect problems.
