Subject:max_allowed_packet bigger than 64MB

Description:

I cannot set the parameter max_allowed_packet to values bigger than 64MB. According to the documentation, the upper limit for this variable is 2GB.

How-To-Repeat:

Set the variable max_allowed_packet to a value bigger than 64MB in /etc/my.cnf and restart mysqld. "show variables like '%packet%'" gives then the result of 62913536 bytes. When the variable is set to a value smaller than 64MB, it is set to the requested value.

Fix:

No fix available for me.
