log-report with conflicting revision range and limit

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out why a client is extremely slow fetching subversion history. Here's an excerpt from its TCP traffic with the repository.

Even though there is an S:limit element in the request the repository responds with what seems like an endless stream of S:log-item elements. Is the use of S:limit combined with a much larger revision range through S:start-revision end S:end-revision allowed? Is it something else in the request that I am missing that causes the limit to be broken? Is the client misbehaving? Is the server misbehaving?

Best Regards
