Entering a large value for some values in the admin settings can cause the settings dashboard to 500 upon reload. As an example, setting embed\_post\_limit to 999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999 will be successful, but breaks the settings page.

I was able to set it back to a non-broken value from the Rails repl, but I suspect most people won’t know how to do that.
