No, this is as a result of changes in src/rsrv between 3.14.11 and 3.14.12 
because large arrays work fine in 3.14.11.

We introduced two major new features in the latest release, CA over TCP and 
dynamic array sizing, and one of them (most probably the latter) has broken 
the correct reporting of the element count.  The CA protocol solved the 
problem of only a having a 16 bit m_count field a long time ago, but it looks 
like that hack^H^H^H^Hsolution didn't get propagated into the latest code.
