I have a question: How would one write such a watchdog?  Perhaps run
the interp in its own process having a connection to the mud?  What
about a separate thread?  How could one write a sandbox thread such
that it kicks out after a certain amount of time of idle?

I'm going to allow my players access to TCL scripts (at least
builders up) and I don't want to let inf. loops and some things
through.  Another option is to have it go through an imm for
approval?
