Hi Thomas,

no, there is no limit in the httpd config files that I can find. Also, 
if there was such a limit, surely some sort of error would occur rather 
than the daemon committing suicide?

I'll do some more playing around, I'll try setting that variable and see 
if I at least get a sensible error message. Also I'll try restricting 
the size in OTRS similarly.

We don't really *want* people to attach large documents, but we *do* 
want it to fail gracefully and not DoS the server!

Dave
