Multi-line text input panes and max characters

Hi everybody,

I (or rather a customer of mine) came across this by accident: If I
create a multi-line text-input pane with the default values (i.e. with
:max-characters being NIL), it seems to accept only about 30,000
characters or something like that.  However, by setting
:max-characters explicitly to a non-NIL value (like, say, 100,000) you
can force it to accept more characters.

Is this correct?  I couldn't find any such limit specified in the docs.

[LWW 6.1 32 Bit, Win7 64 Bit]

Thanks,
Edi.

LW 6.1 32, Mac OS 10.7

seems to have no limit, tried > 100,000 characters by pasting chunks of 
10,000 via clipboard.
