What is the maximum number of points a path can contain?

Hi All,
Having difficulty importing a complex dwg file into illustrator 10 (Mac).
What is the limit on number of points in a path for import?

I thought I remember seeing 3000 but now I can't confirm.

Anybody Know?
Thanks in advance

I got up to 50,000+ once, in a test of just that.
