I have an application which will be putting data into one of the server's
cut buffers (not selections).  Because the data may be large, I want to
be able to determine whether the data will fit before trying to put it
into the buffer.

Is there a way to ask the server how much data it can hold in a cut buffer?
Or is the only limit how much memory can be malloc'ed (or equivalent)?

Thanks,
Dave Curry
