erl_interface-3.3.2/include/erl_eterm.h:#define ERL_MAX_COUNT 0xffffff

It's used in the erlgtk driver (gtk_drv.c) like so:

  #define ETERM_REF(e) do { \
    if (ERL_COUNT(e) < ERL_MAX_COUNT) \
      ERL_COUNT(e)++; \
  } while(0)

ERL_COUNT is still defined in erl_interface-3.4.

I haven't found any documentation on any of this yet, either - and
you'll have to ask Tony about how it's used in erlgtk.  I'm just trying
to port it :)
