There was a long-standing bug in blob searching, where a search
string would not be found if it was straddling the boundaries of two
blob segments. I know it has been fixed in Fb 2.0, just not certain
that it was backported to Fb 1.5.3....

Otherwise, I'm not aware of any limits - other than the old
traditional 64K "blob-end" limit that the BDE imposed on all blob
manipulation...
