This check was adding in 1.0.3, so I think it's merely coincidental that
you didn't see it with 1.0.16 - if you indexed the same data with
1.0.16, you'd get the same error.

And the limit was there prior to 1.0.3, it's just that you would get
the error at some later point - see http://trac.xapian.org/ticket/44
for more information.
