I'm trying to execute 'namazu' for a search from

Its not working, however, as it comes back saying

Is this a feature of namazu?
Yes it is. I believe it is done to avoid potential security problems
with run the shell command namazu from a CGI program.
If so, how can I
get around it?
If you are careful in how namazu is invoked from a CGI program, security
should not be a problem. Check out,
<http://www.namazu.org/ml/namazu-users-en/msg00345.html>, for
some template Perl code that you can use to invoke namazu from
a CGI program in a safe way.
