Subject: Distribution List limit?

We've got a user with about 200 names in a distribution list. When she 
adds them, the first few show up on a line entitled DISTRIBUTION LIST in 
her addresbook but the vast majority get prepended to the whole list as 
comma and tab separated before even her regular addressbook entries. I 
took the addressbook, edited everything back into place but when accessed 
again the 190 or so names were prepended in the file.

Also, when she puts the name of the Distribution List in the To: field or 
the BCC: field to limit exposure, it immediately disappears after the 
return is pressed.

Is there some limit to the number of names in the list? I didn't see 
anything in the docs, but may have missed something. Allegedly, this was 
not a problem on another system running 3.89. We're running SunOS 4.1.3 
and 3.91.
