g.message takes the message via a command-line argument, so it's
limited to any system-imposed limit on the length of an individual
argument or the combined length of the arguments.

But more significantly, G_message() etc use an internal buffer of 2000
bytes. A message longer than that probably won't work and may well
cause the g.message to crash.
