  While still true, there are cases where it's less cut-and-dry: In
other protocols, I've seen clients do the equivalent of "repeated
malloc without free".  Of course, the server should place limits on
resources a client can allocate, but some people consider that kind of
thing to be not a "bug" in the server, because it's "working as
designed".  To which I say: http://tinyurl.com/ye3tkmd
