I used lists of 230400 elements for sure, but I might have also tried 
921600 elements. This was with [#export_list]. With [pix_dump], I remember 
that it has problems with that. When I made [#export_pix] and 
[#import_pix], I was comparing with an implementation that involves 
[pix_data], and I had to fudge it because some of my lists were too long 
for [pix_data].

Try to find the size at which it starts failing. It might be 262144 
(exactly 2 megs in atom format) or some similar number.
