Rails - Nov 2005 - textarea with large data, bug ?

Hi,

I have a problem with a simple form having a textarea and few buttons, 
radio boxes...
When I feed my textarea with a lot of text (about > 200 lines), it fails 
lamentably, otherwise it works fine.

Here the params array, as given by the exceptions caught on action 
controller:

Parameters: {"demi_choix_1"=>"55",
"demi_choix_2"=>"59",
"demi_choix_3"=>"-1dangerous to public [...]
disturbances.", "human
[...] disturbances."=>""}

"demi_choix_3" should be an integer, it loses many of original form 
attributes, and has an attribute whose key is a section of the original 
textarea text with a value of "".

my template looks like this:

<%= form_tag :action => ''generate_doc'', :id =>
@concours, :is_email =>
@is_email %>
  <%= text_area ''document'', ''content'',
:cols => ''90'' %> <br />
  [...]
<%= end_form_tag %>

This may be a bug, or maybe i missed a configuration option, or 
something else. I''m running the latest rails version (0.14.3) on debian
sarge, under fcgi, with ruby 1.8.2.
Has someone an idea ? Many thanks !

I don''t think it was, to be sure I put:
  LimitRequestBody 0
in my apache2 config file.

I tried using Webrick, and it worked fine... There is probably some 
problems related to my apache and fcgi configuration, I''ll check for 
that later.

Thank for your answer.
