Bug Description
Binary package hint: icoutils
While browsing my filesystem using nautilus I suddenly found my computer crawling to a halt.
Upon investigation I found wrestool was using all my memory (> 1.5GB) trying to process an incomplete download of a game called 'company of heroes'.
I have truncated the exe down to just 1000 bytes and the problem still exists. This 1000 byte file is attached (hopefully).

summary: |
- wrestool hangs system processing incomplete exe + wrestool repeatedly thrashing system for RAM with incomplete/downloading + exes |
Confirmed. Downloading an .exe to the desktop results in the memory to massively shoot up and kill the system for a while. This happens about once every minute.
