Hi Jeff,
Thank you for the answer. I was thiking that such a problem really exists,
and that's why I decided not to touch the source code on this.
It seems to me a bad thing to have a such low limit for file uploads. As I
don't know this implementation, do you think there's any other way we can
increase the file upload limit?
