Sadly, I do know about that problem but it's a pain to fix.  When you
do a getbulk and you pass the max message size limit sent by the
manager you're supposed to cut out a bunch of stuff till it encodes
under the length requested by the manager.  The simple answer is we
don't do that and it's wrong.  The worse answer is that it's fixable
but a pain (which is why it hasn't been done).

If you can convince the package you're using to either reduce the
repeat number or use getnext or increase the max message size you can
probably get around that.

(I think 2048 is a reasonable default to be done by them for network
traffic purposes, though I'm sort of disappointed they'd throw
anything away that they got back.  I know their code must be able to
handle bigger stuff and from the principal of accept what you can,
there is no reason they should drop it on the floor).
