Even when it is fixed, there are some other similar DoS problems. For
example, given a remote object e.g.

  def service {}

a client can DoS it easily with e.g.

  service<-__getAllegedType()<-getFQName()<-size()<-pow(2147483647)

What can I do about this?

(basically, any object with a method that returns a list, number or
string will allow people to kill its hosting vat)
