Can you guys take this question to the ccHost list...that would help me
out majorly...I'm a bit slammed for time and would appreciate this:

http://wiki.creativecommons.org/cchost

And/or, good to file RFE: http://sf.net/projects/cctools

Also, I'm cc'ing Roan about this. He might have a good idea if this is
some type of post-processing that is timing out. Roan, what do you
think?

I have set all the timeouts to have infinite timeouts on php and the
limits for files to 20 megabytes.

http://openclipart.org/test.php

I think it must be post-processing steps of SVG, as ccmixter.org is fine
with files up to 10 megabyte (their file size limit).

Heya, here is a good test. Try to upload a 1mb and above bitmap file and
see if that gets by.

Otherwise, until I get time, probably best to ask upstream on
cctools-cchost mailing list...
