Text request/response spanning - security issue?

[Luben Tuikov <luben@splentec.com>]

A key=value pair can span multiple Text Request/Response PDU's.

A rougue/badly implemented T/I can use this ``feature''
to completely drain the I/T resources and stall its
operation.

I.e. the node will keep the data and wait indefinitely until
0x00 in order to process the request. If 0x00 is never
received, the node will eventually run out of memory.

If such an implementation is in kernel space,
then after such an attack, the only solution
is the big red button.
