kill_task(task_id())

How can one prevent someone from killing a task that they shouldn't be
killing?  Denying prog-bits is not an option in many situations, and
using fork() for every call to a verb that might possible kill the task
would be inefficient and would probably spam the living heck out of the
poor server.  Anyone got any ideas?  Pavel, do you think you could
squeeze some kind of countermeasure against this into the server before
your time is up?  Perhaps some method of designating a task unkillable by
verbs down the line?  (kill_task(task_id()); being functionally eqivilant
to return; when this mode is in effect, except for calls with wizard
perms)

TIA,

Brian
