Multiple categories link manager - won't show above 253

I have created category id 254, went to Multiple Categories Link Manager, and category id 254 does not display. I created another category with id 255 and it doesn't display either. What's up? Do I need to increase the limit in the code somehow? I increased the display columns from 3 to 4 in the config.
