+Subject: [PATCH] Add system property to disable book size limits
+
+If anyone comes in with a watchdog crash related to books after this patch
+you will not only be publicly shamed but also made an example of.
+
+Disables the security limits on books entirely, allowing plugins AND players
+to make books with as much data as they want. Do not use this without
+limiting incoming data from packets in some other way.
