Set a max number of tries for finding unique filename on STOU

What steps will reproduce the problem?  
1. Connecting to FTPd.
2. Sending a lot of STOU requests. 

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.  
Every time a STOU is received we start an infinite while loop stopped only
when a name unique for the file is found. We should set a maximum number of
tries to create a unique filename (e.g. 99), so that we decrease the
chances of a DoS situation.

Fixed in SVN, revision #37 .
Jay Loden proposed an alternative solution based on tempfile module:
