time limit for compiled script

[Tomáš Zíma]

Hello,

is there any recommended way to kill (compiled) unresponsive script? In 
a service we're running, pieces of JavaScript code are submitted by 
users and introducing some limitations is absolutely necessary. I'd like 
to avoid using deprecated stop() method on the thread, which is 
currently the only solution I can think of.

I know it's dangerous to forcefully stop the execution as it can leave 
the application in an inconsistent or corrupted state (and that's why 
stop() is deprecated), but this is something I can't deal with right now.

Thank you.
