Ah. What's this, then? I think I (or rather a user) may have run into this.
It's the number of items resulting from a string-to-list coercion. Lists can have much more than 40nn items by themselves, but if you try to use a all-at-once coercion, it will break if the number of items is... well... something like 406n items I think. It's a long-standing bug.
If you want to coerce more than 406n items, you'll have to do it in chuncks.
