[New-bugs-announce] [issue12902] help("modules") executes module code

[dronus]

New submission from dronus <paul.geisler at web.de>:

When running help("modules"), some code of the modules seems to be run. For example, on my Gnome system KWallet  configuration GUI pops up and stalls further opereation. I think no one expect help("modules") run abitrary code instead of just outputting a list of modules.
