What the heck are you doing that would require a message length greater than 
32K?  Certainly nothing that I've ever done on the web would require _THAT_ 
amount of data in a single record.  If you're blocking in MQ, use smaller 
blocks.  I'll warn you in advance that MQ is a _transaction_ based system, 
large volumes of data are _NOT_ handled well by it, especially if you're 
using persistence.  I've used MQ quite a bit, so feel free to contact me 
offline if you have specific questions...
