maximum value for HISTSIZE ?



I am lazy and forget a lot, so I set HISTSIZE to 150000.
But now I frequently get to see:
 _all_labels:39: subscript too big: 318937

So is there a maximum value or/and on what does it depend?

BTW, I'd love to see an option like HIST_EXPIRE_ShortLines_FIRST
so that really short history lines like "ls", "du -sh" etc. expire
before long and complicated ones.  Maybe even with a configurable
line length.  Or can that already be done somehow?  Of course I
could write a perl script that "cleans" my the history file nightly
but I'd prefer the zsh-way.

Thx,
 Andy.
