What is the maximum number of characters that a same-page anchor tag link can be on all mainstream platform browsers released from IE6 on up?

For instance, a link like:

http://example.com/#a789c4d8ecb0ec2201444bfa64b04696aa2bbaa41eb331535d1dd6d219558a02968d5af97ae74359973163337ef9b09c65dd70d40c3c79a4169355ea92db45e21fe30550dce4987987237652a347b97759f2753b412ee50d4121d0f6382580b5a62d1e02921c39c252c5e4731e38fc295ad6abcb22613513c4fd7599ab10d3f9c970b9eb3ddf5b2cf233af25005298590ce798b28092cecdc6756c8205e9a0650826e42a184267d0bfb5e3d7b3d1c25e324fe6329cf7681ffae7c01c86d4a70

Note the # symbol above.

Note I'm using XHTML transitional, if that matters any.
