Hmm, I should really not make promises in such a general way :-(

In a lot of cases strings can really be infinite 9limited by memory), but
there are some practical limits, too.  In your particular case it a plain
old buffer overflow in a (s)printf.  So the string can be infinitely long,
but you can't print it.  Of course it should not crash.  However, you will
be able to use it for the text object.
