From a Quake3 config file:

unbindall
bind TAB "+scores"
bind ENTER "+button2"
bind ESCAPE "togglemenu"
bind SPACE "+moveup"
seta cm_playerCurveClip "1"
seta cg_trueLightning "0.0"
seta cg_oldPlasma "1"
seta cg_oldRocket "1"
...etc..


Most definitely it is untrusted, even though the quake config file is a 
script it is impossible to cause it to hang...
