    Well, at IdMOO we found something interesting.. one day our process size
    jumped about 10 megabytes.  We were testing a new server (1.7.9p2 plus a
    few goodies I stuck into it) so I got blamed, but we tracked it to this
    instead:
    Someone owned an object whose name was a series of 1's and 0's, about
    300-500 characters.  One of our wizards was running match() on object
    names, using the regexp:   .*aphid.*
    Boom, instant +10 megabytes process.

    Def.
