It does nothing with it; it just aborts the script.  I presume that just 
leaves it there.  Subsequent calls will cause it to get bigger, but the 
SysOp can override the MAX_REPSIZE and recompile if he wants it to go, or 
delete the packet if it is in fact 36 meg of dups.

I suppose it would be good if it sent a telegrap/message to the SysOp when 
it aborted, rather than just dropping a line in the logfile.  Is there a 
BAJA verb to do that?  Can't remember -- will check.  Also, there 
should be an easy way to set LIMIT_REPSIZE off without recompiling, in the 
event you sometime get an unusually large, but still legitimate packet.
