Mark,

Looks like the major limit you will hit is the $GARPHOME/include/children.h
MAXBUTTONS limit which is defined as 100 in that file. You probably need
to up this to 150 to 200. 

After changing this, 

cd $GARPHOME
make clean
make all
make install

See if that clears up your problem (you might just be lucking out up to 128 
until
you really start crashing over the array boundary. They appear to check this 
limit
in the number of times presented...but may be missing the number of site 
buttons.

Let me know what you find.
