I doubt its arbitrary, they are obviously tracking the count as a short (16
bit) datatype integer and should be able to fix it by recasting whatever
they are tracking. It is an interesting choice in data types, in today's
world one would think an integer would be the absolute min and it kind of
points to the 16 bit framework that is buried in everything Microsoft.
