ORBit 0.5 buffer limits in sequences

[Ewan Birney <birney ebi ac uk>]

Of course, one solution to all of this may be to upgrade to ORBit2 but as
ORBit 2 needs glib2 it is hard thing to roll across the entire system...


... any - the problem is that when I send across little sequences it is 
fine:


Sequence of size 3:
-------------------

server output...

going to do RU1A_HUMAN
 ... retrieved HSP manager size 3
 ... remapped HSP manager
 ... freed data, about to return


(HSP manager size is direct the ._length of a sequence)


client output....


Loading up query... RU1A_HUMAN
Retrieved hsp manager with 3

(also printing ou the value for the ._length of the sequence)



Sequence of size 1000 odd
-------------------------

server

going to do RU1A_HUMAN
 ... retrieved HSP manager size 1456
 ... remapped HSP manager
 ... freed data, about to return




client


Loading up query... RU1A_HUMAN
Retrieved hsp manager with 1112690499



My ORBit is 0.5.1


ecs1h[birney]93: orbit-config --version
ORBit 0.5.1





Is the best thing to do to upgrade to ORBit2 - is there a command 
line/compile time option to allow longer sequences to be passed across? I 
have a nested struct/sequence/struct IDL so the data passed across is 
quite big...




Any help out there -- I've tried some goggling and FAQ reading to no 
avail...
