Description:
------------
It seems that the post_max_size variable has a maximum of
2047M -- setting it to 2048M or larger causes many bad things
to happen, in particular it clobbers all of my POST data. I
assume this is because if you are storing 2048M as an unsigned
int and then treating it as an signed int later, the code is
comparing the POST data size with a negative number. I felt so
much pain and confusion before I found this! This should be
documented and should probably cause an error of some kind.
It's too late for you to save me -- please, save the others!
