There should be no such limit. The exception ist hat you may run out of memory. The passphrase is hold in secure memory and during computations 2 or 3 copies need to be stored there. 1000 characters should be no problem but it makes no sense. > or is there an effective maximum, where longer passphrases make no > difference? See Robert's answer. Depending on the choosen cipher you may need more that 128 bits, though.
