I feel ignorant, but I'm confused about how WSGI is affected (and have
failed to exploit my WSGI app).  AFAICT from reading the code, Twisted's
WSGIResource doesn't invoke a shell.  I see that it has an `environ`
attribute that gets filled with user-provided information, but I don't see
how that makes it into a shell's environment.

We'll patch bash anyway.

Thanks,

Matt
