Yes. There are actually two problems here. The first problem is that the code fails to signal the problem back to the application which causes scli to just hang. The second problem is of course the fact that the code is not smart enough to react to a tooBig error by changing the table retrieval strategy.
You are of course welcome to submit patches to fix one or all of these problems. :-)
