The code that generates the dropdown's has a hard limit of 300 blocks 
(addresses in this case) and that most likely what your hitting sine 256 (1 
/23) + 44 = 300.  The limit is there to keep the time it takes to generate 
the dropdowns to a minimum.. i should make it more intelligent and be able to 
relaize when it needs to limit itself and not.. i'll put it on my TODO.
