Comment 3 for bug 1015531

> I would not blame the utils.execute() code though, it's a low-level primitive that just does what it's told to do.

Well, there are probably multiple ways to address this and all of them come with their own pros and cons. Fixing it
directly at low-level means that all subsequent calls that will in turn boil down to utils.execute() code will be safe.
Otherwise we might find us ending up fixing "hundreds" of high-level occurrences.
