Hi,

I'm running into a problem with Apache::Request handling large POST 
values on a RedHat ES 3 system using libapreq-2.02-dev and the RH rpm 
package of apache (2.0.46-44.ent).  The problem is that when a large 
value (say a memo entered into a textarea box) is received 
Apache::Request fails to extract it and any input parameters after it 
(as they appear in the request body) are also not extracted.  It is 
as if Apache::Request ignores the large value and everything coming 
in after it.

I'm fairly certain this is Apache::Request specific -- 
Apache::compat's handling of large values is fine on the same machine.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?  Does anyone know if this has 
been fixed in any of the later versions of libapreq2 ?  I read over 
the changes log but didn't find anything that I could tell related to 
this issue.

Thanks,
Joel
