It's a structural limit. The maximum size is 128 MB, which is 2^27. The reason 
is in the union right after the maximum size:

class Value
{
public:
    enum {
        MaxSize = (1<<27) - 1
    };
    union {
        uint _dummy;
        qle_bitfield<0, 3> type;
        qle_bitfield<3, 1> latinOrIntValue;
        qle_bitfield<4, 1> latinKey;
        qle_bitfield<5, 27> value;
        qle_signedbitfield<5, 27> int_value;
    };

The solution for this is https://codereview.qt-project.org/265312. Please help 
Ulf finish the porting.
