    The problem lies within the fact that if vendor-'X' wants to deply a software solution onto a system, they'll have to assume/hope that the administrator has set these limits (or even installed them). Additionally, each distribution/OS has it's own methods.

            Whilst I guess this is a case of "Lets blame the AV makers", the issue is that they [AV software developers] decided to put in automatic, recursive uncompression tools into their own software. I know NOD32 actually left uncompression _out_ of their software due to this matter.

            There are OpenSource limits testers as well.
