While this may be the case. They are actually not being updated. I think 
perhaps we should write to the translation mailing list and ask them to 
update it or we will do it for them.

That's exactly what the limit=512 means. It means, that's the default. 
This is something which is defined in the GOption configuration. If you 
notice, other non-default command line switches don't have anything set
