[vw7.3.1][BUG][Base] -- ByteArray new: 500000060 failed and message says I need a positive integer argument, which I have

[vw7.3.1][BUG][Base] -- ByteArray new: 500000060  failed and message
says I need a positive integer argument, which I have

I assume it violated some maximum array size.
What is the maximum array size and why is there a maximum?
The message should be changed to say what the real problem was...

Unhandled exception: This message needs a positive integer argument

Check out the first page of the Implementation limits
doc in the technotes folder.

Says the limit for byte objects is 2**28.

Thanks, Terry.

I wonder if this limit exists for the 64-bit image...  I would hope not.

Please, someone create an AR to fix the message.  

It would be good if the image supplied a selector for these limits;
something like

        ObjectMemory maximumSizeForIndexableObjects
                "some explanation of why the maximum and pointer to the
Implementation limits doc"

        <primtive:  xxx>  grab it from the OE
        ^2**28

And then the error handler could test the size arg against the limit and
give a better error message.  Something like

error == #'bad argument'
  ifTrue: [
        newSize > ObjectMemory maximumSizeForIndexableObjects
                ifTrue: [give nice message about limit]
                ifFalse: [give message about needing postive integer]

In 7.4.1 the error message is;
"Size exceeds implementation limit of 2^28 elements"
But the value is encoded in the method that generates
the error message.
