I think there is a limit to the number of components. I had created a number of pirate components and a lot did not show up until I reduced the number of them. I don't know what the limit would be but IIRC I could only get ~320 components to show up in the component window when creating a ship.

There is definitely a limit, but it is for sure going to be a power of 2, likely a power of 2^8= 1 byte.
1 byte =2^8= 256
2 bytes = 2^16 = 64k = 65,536

Might the problem be in the component window itself? Did you try using the "only show latest" button? That would determine whether it is the window not showing all the components, or the components not getting loaded.
Also, Component cut-off is usually due to extra blank lines in the text file.
