as a side note.  I believe I implemented a python workaround
for this problem by just decompressing data in small chunks
(4k at a time) using a decompressor object.

see the mojonation project on sourceforge if you're
curious.  (specifically, in the mojonation evil module, look
at common/mojoutil.py for function named
safe_zlib_decompress).

Regardless, I like thie idea of this patch.  It would be
good to have that in the main API and documentation for
simplicity. (and because there are too many programmers out
there who don't realize potential denial of service issues
on their own...)
