Yeah... as I was typing that question, I was thinking "well, stack overflow could mean many things", although I immediately assume that my template has infinite recursion in these cases ;) I hasn't really thought about 3rd-party templates. Does anyone have any data on the impact of a stack overflow on a running app server? I would imagine that a better way to perform a DOS would be to concatenate strings forever in an endless loop. There's really no checking that can be done against that. Okay. Enough nay-saying from me ;) - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.7 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFGYGY39CaO5/Lv0PARAm9iAJ0cYAW0Rs6h5yfVwefQkvPcMnUmPgCgjnkV IG5pXk8OVJY+44SHv+mr/i0= =9F0i -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
