In SharePoint, why can I "multiple document upload" a 47,297 byte file, but not a 47,298 byte file?

It's strange. I can upload a document named 47k.txt that is 47,297 bytes using the "Multiple Document Upload" feature. However, if I add a single character to the end of the text file, the upload fails. Also, if I rename the file to 47k*x*.txt and try to upload it, it fails.

This is the error I get in the SharePoint logs:

Category: General                        
Event ID: 8jzm 
Level: High     
Message: #90012: An error was encountered while processing files on the server. Try uploading one file at a time by using the single upload page.

The same error is reported in a message box on the client side.

Does anybody know why this would happen?
