The CherryPy variable "max_request_body_size" should be a number value, in bytes. The current code runs something like "eval('max_body_size' * 1024)", where 'max_body_size' is the value read from the external configuration file, in kilobytes. Multiplying a string by a number in Python creates a new string repeating the original string a number of times. We expect a multiplication, not a string repetition. This bug was introduced by commit e3b79e3. Multiply the number 1024 by another number (i.e. the "eval" result), not a string.
