So far, I've never run into the problem -- but my bookmarks
file is growing, and I'd imagine the same limit applies
to that as to any other page. Suggestions:
Until dynamic code is found/upgraded/installed, raise
the default to 1000 (it is "just" an array of pointers,
I'd imagine -- but don't know. If an array of huge
structs, pre-allocated, than that's something else!).
Most importantly (assuming it is not doing this already!),
add a "shout out" to Fote's "fix" via ignoring, so at least
the user knows what's happening to "this" page, effectively
being truncated. Maybe display a page that says what's
happening, with either it timing out after 5 seconds, or
the user having to manually return to the too-big page.
