Comment:

 This happens when php stops listening to the request after post_max_size
 is reached.  When that happens, the mime request cannot be properly
 decoded, so no post variables come through (including the nonce).

 [attachment:18474.diff] will detect the problem when a nonce fails and
 will give the proper error message, but there's nothing we can do about it
 from within WP.
