  You can run your scanners softlimited to prevent such activity i.e. I
always manually edit QS.pl:

my $unzip_binary='/usr/local/bin/softlimit -t 120 -f 100000000 /usr/local/bin/unzip';

However, it still seems that QS ignores the return code of a process that
has hit a softlimit. I brought this up last year:

Your patch gives much finer control over all this though.
  Cheers.
