If the system crashes, it is a bug. The system should be stable enough
to handle such kind of misusage of the system.
MMBase should never do anything that would make that system crash.

I agree on the fact that a lot of case's are difficult to handle, but if
we can detect such -possible- DOS attack's, i think we should check on
it, and consider it a very large bug.

As soon as someone has a error message with it, and it was a reasonable
request, we should higher this limit.
Maybe somebody with a large database is prepared to test the current
settings and modify them so they have a reasonable value?
