Android uber bug

I didn't cover the release of the whole Android G1 stuff here because I really didn't care about it. But this tops everything else so I wanted to say a few words. It seems that the biggest and unexpected bug turned up a few days ago.
Apparently, every firmware version RC29 and lower interpret every single word that you type, anywhere (!) as a system command. And not only does it run it ..but it runs it with superuser permissions (WOW). The test is already classic. Go anywhere and type "reboot" then hit return. Your phone will reboot.
Luckily for those of you using it, Google has already rolled out RC30 fix that makes all your problems disappear and your life complete!
