The BI is limited to 2GB in V8, regardless of the number of extents you
have.. I have no idea what the mfg code is doing, but your best bet is to
go back to them and ask them to split the code (and the transactions) into
smaller chunks.. Or, upgrade to Progress V9, where the limit no longer
exists..
