accepted for 1.4, and after that it will be backwards incompatible change.
It would be very sad. I think `bulk_create()` is pretty much unusable (for
being unsafe to use) right now.
I don't see any reasonable way of handling this issue at user level.
If nothing changes until the release, at least the following warning
should be added the the doc of bulk_create().
'''WARNING'''. This function crashes if you try to create more than a
certain number of objects. This number depends on the database backend,
and also on the number of fields in the object. In short: '''don't use
this function.'''
> I don't think there is any possibility to get the above into 1.4. There
is just too little time to fine-tune all the details (transaction handling
etc). In addition the above is a new feature.
The solution you propose may be considered a new feature, but the problem
itself is a bug. As far as the `bulk_create()` functionality is concerned,
this is pretty much a critical one.
