I ran into this trying to report a eucalyptus bug using apport. It attaches several log files that will easily be dozens of megabytes. I chatted with pitti some at http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/2010/03/18/%23ubuntu-devel.html .

There are 2 issues here
a.) apport creates a string the size of all combined fields before the user responds that they want to see the report
b.) there is no max size to be displayed. It is highly unlikely that a user wants to view all of a log file megabytes in length in 'sensible-pager'.
