So this is similar to bug 10163, but I don't think it's the same thing. I
noticed that if you have 1000 in MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod, and you try to
process 1000 items, there's an error message

"Too many items (1000): You are not allowed to edit more than 1000 items in a
batch."

The message itself is a bit confusing because 1000 is not "more than" 1000. And
you're probably thinking "well, just put 999 items in your file and voilà!",
but if you batch modify using the reports, the options are 10, 20, 50, 100,
200, 300, 400, 500, and 1000. If you have a lot of batches to do, the
difference between 500 and 1000 is double the work.

To reproduce:
1- Set MaxItemsToProcessForBatchMod to 1000
2- Go to Reports
3- Make a report for itemnumbers that will give you at least 1000 items (ex.
SELECT itemnumber FROM items)
4- Save and run the report
5- In "Rows per page", choose 1000
6- Click on "Batch operations with 1000 visible records" > Batch item
modification
7- Notice that the item modification form isn't there and that the message says
"Too many items (1000): You are not allowed to edit more than 1000 items in a
batch."
