Sure edit controls ( and TFileWindow built on top of it) have a limit of 
about 32KByte of text. The reason is that edit controls allocate their
buffer from the program's local (!) heap, which is only up to 64 kByte in
size. So if you have a lot of the local heap allocated, edit controls even
may have a smaller limit.
To avoid this problem you have to write your own edit window.
