Hi,

playing with mongo and sending big bulks insert commands, I get the error

"Wed May 16 11:59:01 [conn139] recv(): message len 58721588 is too large58721588"

Looking at the code about this limitation, I found the limit being 48000000 and defined in message_port.cpp

Can you explain me why this limit of 48000000 came from ?
It is just an arbitrary limit defined as approximately 3 times the maximum document size ?

I found nowhere else in the code a reference to this number, except in js-1.7 which severals times use the number 0x48000000.
Since I found no others reason for the 48000000 limits, I was wondering that maybe this limit should be 0x48000000 instead of 4800000.

Does somebody have some insight about this ?
