According to:
http://www.lissot.net/partition/partition-04.html#SwapSize
the limit is architecture-dependent, but is "officially" 2GB on i386,
with this note to qualify "officially":
"max swap size: With kernel 2.4, the limit is 64 swap spaces at a
maximum of 64Gb each, although this is not reflected in the man page
for mkswap. With the 64 bit opteron on the 2.6 kernel, 128 swap areas
are permitted, each a whopping 16 Tb!"
