In 32bit systems, It's 128MB on Emacs-21. It'll be 256MB on Emacs-22.
It can be made 512MB fairly easily (patch not provided, tho).
But it can also be made insanely large by recompiling on a 64bit system.
This "insanely large" is the theory. Practice will probably bump into bugs
when crossing the 2GB limit.
