Huge articles & maxartsize (CURRENT)

Hi.
I'm using a fairly recent CURRENT snapshot (2.5.0 20050321 prerelease),
and I'm having some troubles.
A few weeks ago, a peer reported that my machine was spooling, with a
lot of "unresponsive connection" log messages on his side. After a few
hours of troubleshooting, I found that he was submitting "huge" articles
(compared to our bandwidth, anyways ! :)).
I had set up maxartsize on my side to 100000 bytes, he was submitting
(at least) a 5Mb article that took about three minutes to crawl along
the wire. From that point, my feed went completely unresponsive : no
messages logged, no accept or rejection message...
Of course, from that point, the peer times out, the article is
respooled, proposed again, lather, rinse, repeat.
From=20what I've seen, there were quite a few changes in the code around
maxartsize in CURRENT. I've taken a look at art.c, in ARTchecksize, and
I see :
if (innconf->maxartsize > 0 && size > (size_t) innconf->maxartsize) {
if (cp->State =3D=3D CSgotarticle)
cp->State =3D CSgotlargearticle;
else
cp->State =3D CSeatarticle;
}
I don't understand the meaning of the cp->State =3D CSeatarticle ? And,
especially, if the state is set to CSeatarticle, can it revert to
CSgotlargearticle and get logged after ?
I'm probably missing something in the code, but the effects are here.
I've warned my peers about this, and I shouldn't receive any more big
articles, but if I can do something else to help debugging...

You're right - what should we care about silly things like counting
votes when we're in a war to preserve democracy. And mind that you
don't say anything against the current resident because that would
undermine our efforts to preserve freedom. (Paul Tomblin in the SDM)
