I could not check today yet with other products (I was at a customer's
site and did not dare to bring their scanners down :)
However, I strongly suspect that those nasty archives could bring down
webmail services like Hotmail or Yahoo, as they perform automatic
scanning of attachments.

Let's hope that script kiddies do not read VULN-DEV!
