It is probably worth pointing out that it is FSF ls(1) at fault here;
wu-ftpd just provides a convenient way for potentially unauthenticated
users to DoS the machine. If your OS supports rlimits (ulimit(3)), I
believe they will provide reliable protection against this problem.
it might be also worth noting that wu-ftpd can be rebuilt with internal
ls code.
