When doing a staged import via the web interface, if the file contains a record
over 99999 bytes (the limit of the MARC specification), MARC::Record 2.0.2 will
choke, causing the job progress bar to freeze in place.  The staff member who
is trying to do a staged import is not notified that a problem has occurred.

Workarounds: (1) Convert the file to MARCXML and use bulkmarcimport.pl instead.
(2) Update MARC::Record (or, while 2.0.2 remains the latest release, apply
http://marcpm.git.sourceforge.net/git/gitweb.cgi?p=marcpm/marcpm;a=commitdiff;h=d354e1f45414bf7f48c76e0de0c1ffba76d38037
by hand).
