It's looking like a hardcoded size limit, at any rate, could be a bad idea. Perhaps it would be well to implement a configurable file size limit, and we may want to only apply it in cases when mmap() failed.

A bug has been filed suggesting that we should perhaps not be slurping HTML files entirely into memory in order to process them (bug 20645). However, until this is addressed, we need to ensure that the HTML files we slurp in don't exceed reasonable sizes, in the meantime. This is especially true when you consider the potential for non-HTML files to be misrecognized as potential HTML files (bug 20496).

Perhaps something in the 15MB range?

(Note: upload size limit is set to 16384 kB, after insertion of the required escape characters.)
