No idea.  

Can you pass something to XListFonts to say "no maximum"?

I had a client who actually (seemed to) fell over that limit (using x 
terminals etc.).
It seemed that a trace message that told the client to change a compile-time 
constant wasn't much help.  So I made the change.  That was ages ago.  (It 
didn't actually help; there were other issues; I don't remember).

Anyway, if you don't want it then throw it away.
