Is there a limit to the amount of photos you can keep on the iPhone do you know?

My wife has a 32GB iPhone 4 with about 20GB free but experienced an issue today.

The iPhone had about 1,400 photos on it. When attempting to go into the camera roll it crashed back to the springboard. When plugging into a PC it no longer showed up under My Computer so we could not delete or access the photos from there as usual.

I had to restore from iCloud and delete most of the photos as iCloud restored them to resolve the issue.

I know my wife should copy the photos off the phone every now and then to keep the number down but would of thought the phone could handle it with so much storage free.

Anyone else had an issue like this?
 
No problems here with too many photos. I have had close to 5,000 without issue.
