Thierry: max_meta_overall_size limits the total metadata size for a given request, but it does not limit the total metadata size, so that can grow without bound. Since Swift loads that in memory all at once, there is potential for a DoS here.

(Note that I haven't tried it out yet, but based on some quick code reading, I believe the bug report to be correct.)
