Max message size for script.php log method

[Luke Weber]

I was having an issue with scribe crashing and was curious if anyone
had more specifics without me trying to dive into the code.

In a nutshell, I'm using scribe.php client with thrift classes
(0.7.0), but also tried it with 0.6.1 and the
TBinaryProtocolAccelerator. Because scribe has a method
Log($messagesArray), I thought it might make sense to batch messages,
but it was crashing consistently the scribe server. Basically if I
push too many messages in a single array to the scribe.php client in
one go, it crashes my scribed.

I was curious if there is a specific size I should limit a single log
in this client to?
Also might be nice to have an exception thrown in the case that we
overflow as oppose to taking down scribe/thrift.

Might be more nuanced streaming buffer size or something, but was
curious if anyone had a patch, or ideas?

Thanks,
Luke
