Near the top of gsdl/perllib/mgbuilder.pm is the following line which sets
the maximum allowable document size to 12 Mb.

$maxdocsize = 12000;

If you change this to some suitably large value it should solve your
problem. I'm not sure exactly why this limitation is applied though I think
it might simply be to prevent MG from consuming too much memory. A modern PC
could no doubt cope with setting this value to something much larger though.
