 	You should disable locale uploading on your sites if you don't 
trust your users.  I just saw this on one of my customers' sites.  He is 
running the latest version.  This PHP script was uploaded and then 
externally run.

/home/chemblogs/www/locale/admin/.svn/props/secure.PHP

 	We probably need an .htaccess rule to disable all PHP outside of 
the root. And maybe we should take more seriously the thought about making 
it easier to have files outside of the web space.  Some of it is a pain - 
ie. moving the tmp or plugins directory causes some things to fail.

 	I'll look into this more and see how it goes.
