Here are some more strange observations that I'm getting when I try out that
script:

1. While only 1887 numbers are shown in the field, the field actually *does*
correctly store all 4000 numbers. It's just that 2000+ of them don't
actually show up on the screen.

2. Changing the upper limit also changes how many numbers are actually
displayed in the field. For instance, if you change the limit from 4000 to
3000, the field would display a total of 873 numbers.
