I would guess that the URI is too long.
You may find joy posting in the specific forum for the scripting language (ASP, PHP, CGI, CFM, etc) that processes the form input. Your server and your programming needs to be configured to handle the amount of data you are passing through the form.

Without knowing exactly what happens upon submission its hard to offer any type of suggestion. What do you do with the submitted data?
The error you get from submitting via GET suggests you are submitting either lots of information or a lot of fields. GET uses the URL string to pass the values and while there is no direct limit, some proxies may impose one, and servers may have troubles with urls exceeding 2000 characters
So the question remains, what are you doing with all the posted information when you get it. Your processing script is likely getting hung up with all the data.

Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.

Its hard to provide any suggestions when you tell us nothing.
Can you limit what is being sent? Yes, how you do that? Well you could use JS script that checks for modifications in your data.
You are asking us to guess at this point.
BTW, spamjim's post was a joke. There's no way to know what your CGI is doing because you have not told us.
