I thought we really needed to fix that before 9.0 shipped, but it turned
out the limit wasn't so bad after all on 64-bit systems; I dropped
worrying about it for a while. It's starting to look like it's back on
the critical list for 9.1 again though.
If anyone here wanted to pick that up and help with review, I could
easily update to it to current git HEAD and re-post. There's enough
people on this list who do tests on large machines that I was mainly
alerting to where the breaking point is at, the fix required has already
been worked on a bit. Someone with more patience than I to play around
with multi-platform string conversion trivia is what I think is really
needed next, followed by some performance tests on 32-bit systems.
