Is there a limit to how long a post can be in WP

I was doing a post to promote a software bundle in WordPress with the Thesis 1.8b4 theme. Initially it would not display a preview other than the title. I edited the graphics to bring them under the 64K limit WP allows. Everything worked fine for a while.

It is a very long post as there are over two dozen software in this bundle. So I have a small graphic (about 32K) for each and then a description of what it does. More than 3,000 words.

So about 75% done and everything is all fine and page displays ok. I get finished with the description and all I have to do now is the call to action, and I did a preview. The only thing that shows is the title and a blank page. WTF.

Are there limits on how long a post can be? Anyone have any idea what I did wrong?

There is a limit, it's been quite a while since I reached it so I don't quite remember what it was.

This may be of some use to you though.
