Call me a sucker if you like but I tried this. I'd been wondering the
same thing :) It's fascinating.

When I resized it to 32768 pixels high, I got the same error message.
When I resized it to 32767 pixels high, firefox crashed:

The program 'Gecko' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadAlloc (insufficient resources for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 23489 error_code 11 request_code 53 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Perhaps that's useful info to add to Jan's bug report.

Cheers, Dave
