How well does it handle zip bombs and 42.zip?

[phiresky → orthoxerox]

There is an option to limit the maximum archive recursion `--rga-max-archive-recursion=` which defaults to 4. That is also needed to handle droste.zip [1] which is a zip file that contains itself. So for huge archives it will simply take a fairly long time, unless you limit recursion more.
