I was aware that in V 3.x, MapInfo had a similar limit of 32k vertices in a polyline or in a region segment, and this limit was raised by the creation of new object types around MapInfo 4.5. MITAB supports that case transparently since version 1.0. If I understand your email correctly, you are suggesting that a similar change happened in version 8.0 with respect to the number of sections in a REGION. To be able to support that case, we'd need a sample TAB dataset with at least one region of this type and the corresponding MIF/MID file to find out the new object id and the way it is structured internally. If you or someone else on this list can provide that then please submit a bug in the MITAB bugzilla and attach the sample dataset or provide a link to it if it's too big.
