That's a creative exploitation of the pd file format, but too dangerous for my taste. You risk destroying your whole patch.
How many patches do you load without even checking whether they'd delete your home directory ?
That's a danger of course. You can load unknown patches with "-noloadbang" and/or remove the "shell" external from your path as first measures. Of course this won't stop a really desperate attacker, so it's better to run unknown patches under a restricted accound (like doing a "sudo nobody" first)
However my comment regarding Steffen's patch was meant as a comment about the general principle he uses.
