It would seem so -- *if* the server was not built with the Big
Requests extension. This is probably why it worked for me:
spl:spl> xdpyinfo
name of display: :0.0
version number: 11.0
vendor string: X Consortium
vendor release number: 6300
maximum request size: 4194300 bytes
[...]
number of extensions: 15
BIG-REQUESTS
[...]
It's a server-dependent thing.
It looks as if XForms should be checking XMaxRequestSize() to make
sure it isn't overflowing the server's request buffer.
