Default Maximum length of a session????

I am going to be doing some recording sessions which require around a couple of hours or so of one continuous recording session without stopping. I've read that some other DAW's have a maximum length/amount of time that they can do in one continuous shot. Does anyone know what the maximum amount of time pro tools has to do one non-stop record??? thanks in advance.

ProTools maximum file size is 2GB, so if you do a 24bit/44.1kHz session that would be about 4.5 hours.

2GB isn't the file limitation...I've had sessions with well over 6 gigs
I searched the support page and it turns out its 13 hours, which doesn't account for how large an actual session is.
(just one track @ 24/44.1 for 13 hrs is over 5 gigs)
