I believe this is a result of the interaction between LC and the Mac OS 
X routines needed to render the controls, since the Mac HIG requires 
certain controls to be only of a specified range of sizes.

I haven't tested this on Windows in many years, but on Linux there are 
no such limitations on button sizes.

If you need larger controls than the Mac HIG allows, Linux is free - all 
you have to do is get everyone in your audience to switch. ;)
