The limitation is in the protocol itself, I'm afraid.  There's nothing we 
can do to fix it, as the Windows clients won't be able to handle larger 
lists.

My only suggestion is that you create more workgroups with fewer members 
each, thus reducing the size of each workgroup's browse list to a 
managable number.
