First off, I would echo the opinion expressed by Carston that it's probably
time you upgraded. Install 6.1.3 and you will be able to install the fully
supported Linux client from Legato themselves. Although Carston works for
Legato, I don't, and I share the same opinion. 5.1 is _very_ old. Is the
feral Linux client even compatible? I had a feeling it was 5.5.something, in
which case it wouldn't be a good match for a 5.1 server. The 6.x Linux
client is an even worse choice with any 5.x server.

I have seen what you are seeing several times in the past when Legato
Engineering have provided special hotfix binaries for testing. The 100MB ss
cutoff was often used in testing and sometimes they forgot to switch the
flag off during compilation. I think it slipped into a couple of patch
releases around the 5.5 era. You may be able to override it by setting a
specific value for save set cutoff which I think is found in the server
setup. It is normally left blank and at 5.x it defaults to 2GB with a
maximum value of 4GB. Of course once you have upgraded to 6.x this is just a
distant memory, although you can still set if if you wish.
