I agree. I think the solution for this case is a persistent image (run
under uid nobody/www/&c, like CGIs are) that is given Smalltalk code via a
socket and a C stub program, and returned the result of the code being
evaluation. I did this in a few lines of code, but without any
considerations to security related to it.
This is something I hope to look into more during Winter Break (coming up
in about a week for me).
