This is an error message from the web server, not from GNATS. Basically, 
the request that goes from the browser to the web server contains more 
data than the web server has been configured to receive at once. If your 
web server is running Apache, this should be possible to to fix by using 
the LimitRequestFieldsize directive in httpd.conf, see 
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/mod/core.html#limitrequestfieldsize for 
details.
