Anyway, I set packSizeLimit and fiddled around for a bit ... eventually the problem went away when I moved the central repository to another machine with less load and more memory. At which point I gave a sigh of relief and forgot to remove the packSizeLimit until recently bitten. But the original problem was probably nothing to do with large packs and hasn't recurred.
