Avoiding kill_task(task_id())...

I have loops, like the following:

for i in (this.users)
  i:tell(user.name, " has connected.");
endfor

for i in ($core_objects())
  i:server_started();
endfor

and I wish for the verbs to be executed on all of those objects
no matter what.  I can use `i:server_started() ! ANY => 0' to keep
it from breaking if there's an error, but I run into a problem if
someone is malicious and decides to use 'kill_task(task_id())'.
Does anyone know of a way around this?  There is one way I've found,
but it's quite inefficient:

for i in ($core_objects())
  fork (0)
    i:server_started();
  endfork
endfor

I'm looking for a better way!  Can anyone help me, please??

Thanks...
