no security issue and not really a a DOS problem,
but it can crash your host if certain conditions
(on the host) are met ... note that the crash in
this case is caught by a Linux-VServer sanity check
(nevertheless it will stop your host from working)

also note, that it is very unlikely to hit this
issue on a norma Linux-VServer system/setup, we
didn't succeed to recreate the conditions on our
test system, although we tried hard ... :)

Herbert
