Well, you're clearly *not* on 8.3.10, or you would not get the
error. Perhaps you should apply the latest bug fixes?

As far as I know it isn't any more conducive to DoS attacks than,
say, your average syntax error; however, if you're trying to keep
that risk low, you should be keeping up with the minor releases
anyway.
