Yes there is a limit in the web frontend 'Harbour Tools', it's ~40MB. 
The used web server somehow can't handle bigger files and we didn't had 
yet time to investigate it.

You can do the check also on CLI:

On Linux, login to the Build-Engine virtual box:

$ ssh -p 2222 -i ~/SailfishOS/vmshare/ssh/private_keys/engine/mersdk 
mersdk at localhost

then inside the build engine:
$ rpmvalidation.sh harbour-myapp-0.1-4.arch.rpm

In that case the limit is the /tmp size (unpacked rpm) which is ~249MB 
in the build engine.
