What is the maximum number of globals allowed in one global file?

I just returned from a trip to find many interesting answers to my question. But not one seems to know the magic number! In the second basic LabVIEW course, the instructor definitely mentioned a limit -- I think I remember 100. I once overran the limit and LabVIEW would not work -- things went berserk -- I don't remember exactly how --- LabVIEW crashed. I don't think it could load the project. It was a harmless global, no race condition, just a simple global. When I removed it, all worked fine again..

Since no one here uses globals that much (except for me), then apparently no one here knows the limit.  Perhaps you could call  your instructor, or send him an email.  The instructors are always glad to answer questions from former students.

Unfortunately, its been years, and I forgot her name!

By the way, the limit was for a single global file, so the workaround is to use multiple global files, if needed. There's nothing wrong at all with using globals to store variables looked at by many vi's, I think.
