Would disabling bash and sh (and any other shells that allowed this) be a
good temporary solution?  I've noticed you have to have it set as your
default shell, so removing it from /etc/shells could prevent this.  It's
either that or disbale procfs (and I'm still not sure what the effects of
that would be)
