There's only one place in the ruby C code I could find that raises
'string sizes too big'. It's raised in a string concatenation function
if the length of the existing string plus the length of what you're
concatenating exceeds LONG_MAX, ie 2^31-1 on a 32bit system. I'm not
sure why fields for would be attempting to concatenate two strings
with a combined length of 2GB.
