I can increase the max size for everyone, but I am concerned about
opening that much freedom in Chi-squared space.  JMFIT can already
give rather bad solutions, esp for noisy data or objects that are not
Gaussian in a significant way.  In performing Monte Carlo tests I
found that the dispersion in answers went up as I allowed the window
around the object to become bigger.  For what do you need such a large
window.
