Subj : Limit of lines of JS-Code?

We created a pretty large project (based on Firefox 1.0.3 code) with
many JavaScript files and dynamically created JavaScript objects from
hundreds of parsed XML files.

We now run into a pretty strange problem. When writing additional lines
of code some methods cannot be called anymore. Calling them throws an
exception.
We found out that it doesn't matter in which file we add additional code
or even blank lines. We get it down to one single line-break which
causes the problem. When we remove the line-break everything works.

Is there any known limit of how many lines of javascript code can be
used for a XUL project?

We had similar behaviours before which could be solved by adding or 
removing some blank lines (!) in a document. The error seems to depend 
on a document. Not a special one but randomly on any document we 
recently changed. But this time it seems, as if there is a character 
limit and it doesn't matter which file contains the additional character.

Any ideas for a workaround?

Thanks
Daniel

(Most of the scripts are loaded using the include function from js-lib. 
Maybe this could be the cause.)
