My experiences up to this point have been with JDK on a Sun, but it appeared

that the number of lines in the TextArea was probably limited by the amount
of
memory available, because I got a huge number of lines before it crashed.

Others never had it crash, but they hadn't written as many lines as I did.

Hope that helps.
