That would imply that dumpbin fails at 4096 symbols per file.  While I
surely wouldn't put it past M$ to have put in such a limitation, I think
it's more likely that the documentation is badly written.

In any case it would be easy enough to make up a quick test to see what
happens with say

	void func1() {}
	void func2() {}
	...
	void func5000() {}
