Another case of 64K segments...

If you need to put more than 64K of data in a listbox then you can write your
own or make a subclass routine that will "virtualize" the listbox.  In other
words it would watch the messages and read the needed items off disk and put
them in the listbox at the appropriate time.

The standard controls weren't intended to handle monstrous amounts of data.
