Assume that you send a message:

GET_BULK(non_repeaters: 0, max_repetitions:1000, column1, column2)

Then you should get the 1000 items that follow column1 and the 1000 items that
follows column2 in the order column1.idx1, column2.idx1, column1.idx2, ...

If the resulting message gets to big it should get truncated early.

See RFC 1905, 4.2.3 for further discussion.
