You can dos any machine with big enough files if they run out of 
partition(linux) or hard disk or memory space(windows).  I had somebody 
show me this with a 20 gig bzipped null character attachment last year 
on this list.

My "Foundation" verse:
Isa 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and 
every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt 
condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their 
righteousness is of me, saith the LORD.
