I have (or had) a five dimension array in one of my programs. It was quite a 
problem to avoid running out of space (the size multiplies in a hurry!)

I think some of our internal test programs use 6 dimension arrays, under the 
assumption that no one will ever try to use more! But that was more of a 
white-box test than any real attempt to do anything.
