it appears the data flooding is somewhat but not exactly related to the MAXMSG parameters - larger values reduce the frequency of the data flooding errors.

Do you need every message in the file? Perhaps you can define some "match" and/or "ignore" lines to limit what comes through. I've never used BBWin, so I don't know what's possible (and what works in central or non-central modes), but the doco suggests that you can do this in some fashion.
