While Paul's suggestion was obviously in jest, I'd have to say that it's
probably *not* a good idea to implement it, regardless of the expense,
unless it can be demonstrated that this can somehow reveal privileged
information. This would defeat programs (e.g., sendmail) which attempt
to back off when system load gets too high.
