Does Microsoft have a size limit on a .pst?

I have multiple users that have pst files of 1.81 gig. Seems when they hit that size they can no longer move anyhting to it?

2gb. When it gets bigger than that you will have problems opening it.

In addition, some (but not all) systems start having corruption/strange behavior problems anywhere above 1.5 Gb

I think there is a Microsofr Knowledge Database article that indicates that anything bigger than 1Gig will cause problems.
