If this is using the Hobbit client, you will also need to increase
the MAXMSG_CLIENT setting. The Hobbit client sends a CLIENT message
first; the hobbitd_client module on the server then converts this
into a STATUS message for each of the status columns. So you need
to increase both.

The Hobbit client uses the latter method, and does not have the
few KB limit.
