~100k Size limitation in restoring emails

[Google Code Exporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.  Backup one gmail account  
2.  attempt restore, either from gui or cli
3.  Emails will successfully restore until one that is too large is reached, at 
which point the "trying to reconnect" message will display, succesfully 
reconnect, then claim it uploaded more data, but still fail to progress past 
the large email.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
  It would be nice if the large emails would be uploaded, or skipped if they can't be processed.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
 revision 15 on Ubuntu 14.4
