Comment 12 for bug 622194

If there were a BOM on it, it would fail too on PGV on both machines, and it would fail on my home machine's webtrees.

When I less or vi it on the Internet server, it's just the same as my other gedcoms ... in structure at least.

According to phpMyAdmin's showing of "variables", the max_allowed_packet is 2,097,152. MySQL is 5.0.90.

I do actually get a progress bar ... after about 25 mins, but it gets to 0% and then errors with
Invalid GEDCOM file - no header record found.
And doesn't empty the database of items pertaining to that gedcom. My smaller gedcoms import apparently without a problem on the 5.0.90 database (they're all well under 1 MB)

phpMyAdmin shows the BLOB only gets to 1.2 MiB for the large gedcom, but I'd expect and hope it would get to about 10.7 MiB.

Maybe it doesn't concaternate it properly, leaving just the last 1.2 MiB in the BLOB, which of course won't have a
0 HEAD
at the top of it.

But I can't "see" the contents of the BLOB to find out what's there or not.
