The system-wide PHP settings enforce a strict upload size limit. (The 
default I believe is 2 megabytes.) Or, if you can't change that, you 
can fiddle with the code...

I haven't tested this, but it ought to work. Change:
		if ( ( ! $wpIgnoreWarning ) && ( $wpUploadSize > 150000 ) ) {
			return uploadWarning( WfMsg( "largefile" ) );
		}

to
		if ( $wpUploadSize > 150000 ) {
			return uploadError( WfMsg( "largefile" ) );
		}

Let me know if it does work, I'll poke in another setting for it.
