On Mac OSX it's limited to 4096 x 4096 because RunRev is still using 
old style QuickDraw, and QDPixMaps are constrained to 4096 x 4096.  The 
same is not true in my tests on 2000/XP.

I added this as a bug before 2.5 went out, but they reassigned it as 
not a bug.

Too bad too, because digital photos can easily be bigger than 4000 x 
4000, and there's no other way to open an image that big in RunRev (or 
create a thumbnail, etc.).
