Bug0003
- Description
Memory Leak using the ZipScanner
Zip Scanner may lead to memory explosion if the zip file contains very large files. This is due to ZipFile attempting to decompress the file into a string.

This is primarily a problem with python's zipfile module which does not allow generative decompression of zip members. Currenly ZipFile does its own decompression which does allow gradual decompression.
See also ZipScanner Test for validation. Currenlt implementation is memory limited.
