A page with lots of <select> inputs, the later ones do not get passed in the
POST, as if there is a limit of some kind. It works fine in IE.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. make a page with a form with lots of select inputs
2. submit it
3. the later select vals are not passed

Well, no, I don't think so: http://philringnalda.com/mtests/big-ass-form.php is
a major pain to load and render with only half a GB of RAM, but it successfully
posts 4097 selects with the Windows 20040131 Firefox nightly. So unless it's
Linux-only, or 0.10.1-only (in which case it's over, that's a very old build in
testing terms), your problem is something else, and unless you can either link
to an example, or attach the HTML that fails, there's not going to be much of
anything we can do about it.

Turns out this is some kind of mod_perl bug, not firefox.
And it is intermittent, so when I tested in IE it happened to work, but
sometimes doesn't.

Thanks
