This seriously hoses Extractor MK3 cards, and Provider MK2's.
Pipes are now very explody. There appears to be a hard-coded limit now, instead of a user-configurable option.

I also ran into this problem with exploding pipes. However I just realized that my system was poorly setup, so everything was requested forwards and backwards constantly.

I have used an Extractor MK3 for a while without running into trouble with exploding pipes.
