UTL_FILE limitation

Hi,
I'm trying to load a table with 37 columns, from a flat file. I'm getting ORA-06502 error after about 400 rows have been added to the file. When I read read from other tables this works fine (although they don't have as many columns). I've tried using the overloaded UTL_FILE.FOPEN procedure
(setting max_linesize to 32767) but to no avail. The strange thing is, if I
run a wc -c on any of the lines created they average about 170 bytes, which doesn't even come close to the 1023 bytes limit. Would anyone know of a workaround?

Cheers,

P.S. relevant commands are :
fileid := utl_file.fopen(file_dir,file_name,'w',32767); v_data := <table data which is tab-delimited>; utl_file.put_line(fileid, v_data);
utl_file.fclose(fileid);
