chunkHighMark ignored when it is a big number

[julyclyde]

I'm trying to let polipo make use of large memory, so I increased chunkHighMark to 2G-8K, it works.
If I set it to 2G+1-8K, it would be ignored and set to default value 25165824.

Is this limit desired? or by accident?

That's expected. There are many places in Polipo where 32-bit overflow is not handled correctly.

I think it would be useful to mention this limitation in document if it doesn’t worth fixing.

Polipo is no longer being updated, sorry.
