As fair as I know this could be unrealisticly large, however it is returning 
this error page

2007/07/07 11:21:04 [error] 2197#0: *59969 upstream sent too big header 
while reading response header from upstream, client: 121.45.170.6, server: 
games.internode.on.net, URL: "/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1483389", upstream: 
"fastcgi://127.0.0.1:10005", host: "games.internode.on.net"

any suggestions on how to fix this.

PS, I love your software hate your doco :)
