Numeric and short string sets of value labels may contain any number
of entries. Long string sets of value labels may not contain any
value labels at all, due to a corresponding restriction in SPSS. In
PSPP we could easily eliminate this restriction, but doing so would
also require us to extend the system file format in an incompatible
way, which we consider a bad tradeoff.
System files could still support value labels for long strings. The
restriction however would be that the keys for those labels could not
be more than 8 bytes long.
