As Greg points out, there is an upper limit. I would hope that the docs
say that TEXT has no *fixed* limit, unlike SQL9x types char() and
varchar().

Let us know if that is not what the docs say (and where they don't say
that ;) and we'll get them fixed up. Though for the next release there
is only a huge upper limit, in principle.
