Many problems could be called a coding problem. :-)

Seriously, it is both a lanuage and a coding problem.  The specification
of what restricted execution means is not clear.  The implemention of
restricted execution was also not correct.  As I said in my last email,
the Python developers don't have the resource to fix these problems.
