Test for DOS fix

[Victor Rodriguez]

Hi memcached community

I was very happy to see fixes for remote DoS (segfault) in parsing of the binary protocol, introduced in 1.6.0.

https://github.com/memcached/memcached/commit/02c6a2b62ddcb6fa4569a591d3461a156a636305

I was wondering if we have a test case for this scenario. I was able to get instructions on how the DOS attack works here https://github.com/memcached/memcached/wiki/DDOS

however, I was wondering if we a coded test case, if not happy to write one

Regards

Victor Rodriguez

Bit late in responding:

That wiki page is about the older DDoS. Not about a DoS. They're
completely different. This bug is more simply a server crash, not
convincing the server to do stupid shit.

I'm not going to write tests for it, but someone else is free to.
