I think I have discovered a bug in commons-fileupload: If your browser
crashes during the course of the upload, a turd (partial file) is left
in the temp directory. It never gets deleted or copied to the final
destination. Thus you could fill up their temp directory and DOS
someone's file upload capability by:
1. Start uploading a large file
2. Kill the browser before the max size limit is reached
3. Repeat N times
This was tested using FireFox 3.6.x
