bug#19565: Emacs vulnerable to endless-data attack (minor)

If Emacs gets an auto-updater, or even an auto-checker for updates, like some 
common operating systems and web browsers have, then this bug would become an 
actual problem, enabling denial-of-service attacks. Since Emacs is an OS, and 
now a web browser too, it might get an auto-updater or auto-checker.

Even so, it would only enable DOS attacks, nothing more.
