Error when I upload a big file

Hi,

I have changed the max size for file that can be attached to 50Mb. But if I try to upload a 43Mb file I get the following error:

Can't call method "logger" on an undefined value at D:/www/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Store/VC/RcsLiteHandler.pm line 352. at D:/www/foswiki/lib/Foswiki/Store/VC/RcsLiteHandler.pm line 352

Could your CGI session be timing out in apache? Uploading really big attachments gets bogged down in RcsLite. On Foswiki.org we've had to do some uploads on trunk which uses RcsWrap, rather than foswiki.org which uses RcsLite and FastCGI. Unfortunately on Windows you don't have that option.

Not a quick answer, but the eventual solution might be the PlainFileStoreContrib, which eliminates rcs altogether.
