Illustrator ver.29.3.1

The current Illustrator specification allows "31999" segments to be included in a single path, but the exceedance error displayed during script execution is displayed at "8191" segments. This is the value of the limit in past versions and has not been updated when the specification was changed.

When run the following script, we get an error dialog with 8191 segments, but there are 32000 path points and 31999 segments added to the path on the document.
