On contemporary x64 machines, the limit will be much smaller - some 4e6 
x 4e6 pixels; more than that, and you'll crash through the 256 TeraByte 
address limit (contrary to legend, contemporary x64 processors only 
support 48-bit addresses, despite the architecture being designed for 
future extensibility to full-fledged 64-bit addresses).

Windows will not allow more than some 7e5 x 7e5 pixels (8 TB), while 
Linux will not go beyond some 3e6 x 3e6 pixels (128 TB) due to 
per-process address space limits.
