What are /store/home/user/ limitations?

I am trying to save a file to the filesystem after extraction that is slightly over 5MB to /store/home/user  and it is throwing an exception:

 

 

S Java Exception - FileIOException - 11/17 10:27:05
| File exceeds the maximum file size of the destination

 

 

This is on a Tour without the onboard storage as the Bold and Storm have. There is plenty of free "Application Memory" 130MB. The receipt of this error in the presence of ample free space seems to indicate that there is a quota (per file? per app?) enforced for each individually installed application. This makes sense from an OSes perspective since one would not want a single app to gobble up all available storage. 

 

I am able to save other (smaller) files successfully to the same destination.

 

Could anyone confirm/deny this theory?

Please use plain text.

At devcon they told us that the limitations are:

 

- 5, 10, 15, 32MB user set depending on version
- 3 MB file size limits until 4.6.0

 

and this is per file in "/store/"
