The paged results control isn't the way to work around the size limit 
(and there's also the fact that it isn't supported !).
As Rich said, configure the server to override the limit for the user 
you're binding as (the directory manager
always overrides the limit btw). There's no problem with receiving the 
results 'all in one big blob' because TCP
backpressure ensures that entries are not sent to the client until 
they're read by the application (modulo the TCP
window size and OS buffering).
