Is there a limit to strings?

[Fluxxdog]

I understand that integers and floats have limits in mafia and ASH scripts. A though came to mind though. Is there a limit to string length or could it be theoretically infinite? Part of me is tempted to try:

int count=0; string duh="";
while(true){
count+=1; duh+="z";
print("Count is now "+count);}

..and then see how long it took for my computer to freak out, but I figured I'd rather take the butcher's word on it.

It's something like 2 billion characters, I think. Available memory is the real limit.

2 billion? Wow, that' a lot of leeway. Thanks!
