Thanks for quick response. Just a couple of silly questions:

- changed where? in php or apache? My host is running the "three week old" 
v 4.2.2 of php so I guess you mean apache?

- If I can in fact get them to change it in http.conf for my virtual host 
block then I will have these huge (!) settings for my whole site rather 
than just the necessary scripts. Is there any downside to this (other than 
misbehaved scripts being really misbehaved)?

Cheers

Oliver
