IMHO it would be nice to also help people who grab mod_mono 1.0.5
(source) and apache-dev (pseudo-source  :-) from some distribution CD. The
FAQ looked like a good place since these people will probably google for
"abnormal string size", and the FAQ is likely to show up at the top of the
hitlist.

Thanks for the explanation, it answers my question. An embedded runtime
could also be used to implement the inter-machine communication, but would
probably be somewhat heavy-weight for that purpose compared to the
current lean mod_mono shared lib.
