As you probably understood it, the literal string is the body of a POST 
(form with large viewstate).
I created HTML pages containing a form with several sizes of viewstate.
That's with these pages that I made scripts which contain this problem.
I can directly send you these HTML pages to help you to reproduce this 
error.

Ok, I created this bug with a link back to the old one.
