	I hit that limit once.  I don't remember how many tabs, but I got a  
message that said that many tabs could not be displayed in the tabs  
bar.  It didn't say anything about not being able to open that many  
pages.

	I regularly open a couple of dozen tabs at once.  Opera seems to  
handle it okay, but sometimes a page or two will stall.  This affects  
performance because the machine works hard to download that page and  
no data is coming.   Sometime I have to find the stalled page and hit  
the escape key.	

	In my experience, the number of tabs that I can open is more  
determined by how much RAM I have and how good a processor and  
connection.  These limits come into play before Opera's limits.  (I'm  
using a Mac with a gig of RAM.)


	How many tabs are your trying to open, and what problems are you  
experiencing?
