That seems not to be a win32 problem.
from common/map.h: 
#define MAP_DEFAULT_WIDTH        80
#define MAP_MIN_WIDTH            40
#define MAP_MAX_WIDTH            200

#define MAP_DEFAULT_HEIGHT       50
#define MAP_MIN_HEIGHT           25
#define MAP_MAX_HEIGHT           100

I don't know this part of the code very well.
IMHO the network protocol cannot handle such large maps (I got the
info by grepping through the source) so changing the maximum map size can lead
to problems.
