Richard,
I'm finding that the display of data becomes unreadable somewhere around 40,000 characters (this may depend on the field width settings - I have not experimented with that - that many characters could not be shown on a a screen without scrolling anyway). And, as you said, sorts tend to make lines with large amounts of unreadable. However the data itself appears to be fine; usable but unreadable.

The text engine in Rev will accurately display lines up to 65,535 characters. Beyond that it seems the data is maintained, but display yields unpredictable results. 
 
There is a similar limitation with the sort command: on blocks of text in which all lines have 65,535 characters or fewer it works great, but beyond that it can yield odd results.
