Not true - the ResourceMap contains some 24-bit pointers, or at
least it used to, as well as some 16-bit length fields as well.
Unless these have been changed (possible I guess, I don't know)
these will bite you before the file fork limitations do.
I'm sorry, but it is true. We're not talking about ResourceMaps, we're
talking about resource forks. ResourceMaps are just one thing that you
might store in a resource fork but I don't know of any reason why you
can't store anything you like in them and the limits for a resource
fork are the same as those for a data fork.
