[CWB] Problems with CQPweb frequency list permissions

Dear all,

I have massive problems with frequency list privileges.

The case at hand: a corpus with roughly 500 mio tokens.


Scenario 1: a query with round about 300,000 matches.

If I run this query as cqpwebadmin, I can look at the frequency list and 
create collocation databases.

If I run the same query as a normal user, I can do neither, even if this 
user has been granted the privilege of building frequency lists of up to 
1 billion tokens. Error message when trying to look at the breakdown:

    The action you have requested uses up a lot of diskspace. Your limit
    is currently set to 1000000 instances. Please contact your system
    administrator if you need access to the information you requested.

This is bizarre because (a) a breakdown of 300,000 matches should have 
less than 1 mio. instances and (b) the user has been explicitly granted 
the right to build frequency lists of up to 1 billion tokens.

What makes it even weirder: If I first run the query as cqpwebadmin, 
look at the frequency list, and create the collocation database, I can 
*afterwards* do the same as the normal user.


Scenario 2: a query with round about 3 mio. matches.

Here, even as cqpwebadmin, I cannot create a frequency breakdown:

    The action you have requested uses up a lot of diskspace. Your limit
    is currently set to 10000000 instances. Please contact your system
    administrator if you need access to the information you requested.

This is bizarre because (a) a breakdown of 3 mio. matches should have 
less than 10 mio. instances and (b) the cqpwebadmin has been explicitly 
granted the right to build frequency lists of up to 1 billion tokens.


What am I missing?

Best,

Philipp
