*gasp* *gasp*

Do *not* make a shell writable by everyone!

All you have to do is make the shell readable; alternatively, copy a shell
(say, /bin/sh) to somewhere else (say, /usr/local/lib/gdb-sh), and make that
world-readable.

Making things that everybody executes world writable is a Really Bad Thing.
