[support] Can't adjust node weight from menu list page

[DTH]

OK; the puzzler is: if I hack menu_overview_form_submit() in
/modules/menu/menu.admin.inc and put a die() statement in the first
line, it dies (correctly) when I submit the menu overview page on a
menu like /admin/structure/menu/manage/devel but if I submit it on
/admin/structure/menu/manage/main-menu [my big menu] it doesn't die,
i.e. it's not reaching the form submit function.

Could this be a setting on my server (e.g. POST is too big? Seems
unlikely, but I've tried setting post_max_size to 20MB)? Could some
other module be hijacking the form submit for this one menu?
