Great, thanks! I was traveling most of the day today and barely had
time to check email, so this is very helpful. I can also duplicate the
error with this approach.

Cool, thanks.

Greg, for now I recommend using either nolimit or a larger setting for
partial_post_size until we can get this fixed. Fixing the cause of the
particular error you encountered is easy, but it just exposes more
problems that aren't as easy to fix.
