IIRC, createdb and destroydb use "cp -r" and "rm -r" respectively.
Lack of careful quoting in the system calls is probably what's

However, I wonder if it wouldn't be a better idea to forbid funny
characters in things that will become Unix filenames. In particular,
something like CREATE DATABASE "../../../something" could have real
bad consequences...
