That number is specified in pan's source code, and for exactly the same
reason I change it myself before I compile pan.

Just in case you know how to build pan from code, the guilty number is
here:

~/src/pan2 grep -r smallish
pan/gui/header-pane.cc:      const bool is_smallish = lines  <= 5000;

I change the 5000 to 10000, which fixes the annoyance.
