Computers can't handle integers beyond a certain limit, so no, not to infinity. 65,535 (2^16-1) is a common upper bound.

Q: How high is the unit limit?
Unknown. The size has been increased several times with patches and the current known lower limit (i.e. at least this number of units can be in the game without encountering the problem) is 137k.
