Detection of compression bimbs has improved alot as apposed to over 10 years ago when they realy did cause problems on mail servers. Home AV software detects them, crazily enough my install of GoLang on a windows box has a file that gets flagged as a compression bomb every full system scan.

But examples like this happen in many forms, heck windows on some file types/sizes doing thumbnails has done wonderous things like exponentialy growing the swap file to a ever impending churned slowdown.

Even computers have mental farts.
