This sounds like you're considering the local gravitational field 
strength to be the limiting factor. That said, you might do better to 
consider what you want the limit to be for, say, an Earth-like planet; 
set _that_, and then scale up for a star, gas giants, etc. And remember 
that it is possible (haven't crunched the numbers) that one could lie 
inside the other...

If you have an answer to that, do NOT send it to
