Here's a potted history of recent REBOL version. The 1534 barrier seems to
be consistant across versions.

Subject: [REBOL] Limit on number of usable words Re:
> Hadn't noticed that before. Ran your test on a mac (v 2.2.0.2.1) and came
up with the same result (1534). This seems to not be memory-related. I
allocated rebol just over 200 MB (why not?). It appears to be using less
than a tenth of that. I wonder if this qualifies as a bug...anyone have an
older version of rebol on which to try this out?
