JDK-4080391 - TextArea.setText() doesn't work for large Strings.
Description
In BugIDs 4080391 and 4260109, the submitters complain that there is an upper
limit to the amount of text which can inserted into a TextArea on Windows 95
or 98. Win32 imposes these limits on its EDIT class and we have chosen to use
this class to implement our TextComponents.

We should consider redesigning our TextComponents to use RichEdit instead. We
will have to restrict ourselves to 1.0 controls, since 2.0 controls are not
available on all versions of Windows 95.
