Comment(by strk):

 So, early testing immediately hit the known limit:

   WARNING: SRID value 20123123 converted to 999123
   WARNING: SRID value 1123123123 converted to 999123
 ERROR:  duplicate key value violates unique constraint
 "spatial_ref_sys_pkey"

 That's converting using modulo over the reserved space composed by 1000
 slots.
 With same algorithm used by postgis_restore.pl and core.
