Can you give a reference for that?  I don't see any such limit on the
man page... granted that it might be an issue on some platforms but not
others (so much for a standard).  I do find some old (2002) references
to a limit in google, but on FC6 or FC8, 32 or 64bit, there is no
mention of a limit or bug on the man page.
