 I think the error is the ''LimitRequestFields'' in Apache, which is 100 by
 default. I've e-mailed Niels and told him to check the value of 4 Apache
 variables and 5 PHP that can affect the behavior of forms.

 using the ''Select matching extension'' and make sure that not to many
 entries are selected (test 5, then 10 etc). If this is the case, the
 server configuration needs to be changed.

 Probably. Let's await Niels reply. Another option is to change the
 JavaScript to select ~95 each time (or how many you can select and have
 room for the form data). That is a better solution since it will work if
 we reinstall the tool later on. Default configuration changes should be
 avoided.

 A third option is to do it using Ajax. Then there should be no limit.
