As long as it's safe to work with a world-writable current directory
/tmp, I wouldn't mind either way.
http://lists.debian.org/debian-security/2006/01/msg00010.html
I think the conclusion about LD_PATH was
python includes the 'current directory of the executed binary'
ruby includes the 'current directory', thus unsafe.
