Subject: Server Crashes (was Encapsulation)

Folks,

I definitely have to agree with Pavel. The majority of server crashes are
related to events external to the server, mostly running out of memory.
The ones that are particularly annoying, though, are the use of the "@"
and "{}" operators to make gigantic structures that don't eat ticks, and
can runaway easily. 

Any "for" operation that can grow my server 100Mb (in memory) in the span
of 5 minutes is just plain evil.
