Or perhaps s/party/hack/g like it's 1999 ...But I supposed we'd be distracting attention away from the point... ;) Anyway, does anyone know of any escape sequences or similar content which would cause GNU or OSX to perform and action? Or, of any buffer-overflow-type scenarios for the escape sequence handlers? (Surely most graphical terminals rely on some well-known library...)
