 edit-comments.php allows to set the number of comments to edit at once.
 Setting those to a value to 500 to keep up with high-traffic sites, a full
 selected submit will result in a "Request-URI Too Large" message (on
 certain servers) which is a sign that wordpress  violates the RFC of the
 URI especially the maximum length by RFC definition.

 The solution is to submit the form via POST not GET.
