Comment 72 for bug 146859

@aporter: I don't know where the rumors and hunches come from. It is true that I run out of memory before achieving 4096x4096 resolution but that results in a decent error message.

I have made the rolled back feature available in my PPA: https://launchpad.net/~ferrix/+archive/ppa

The patch is still available in the Ubuntu source package, it has just been commented out in the series file. The reason for the patch to have been disabled is Bug#359392 and there seems to be enough reason to have done so. Be sure to have the official packages available in case you face problems.
