"Limit for columns of pivot table"

Hello there,

I'm really new to this program (RapidMiner 5.0.008) and I'm just using it privately.
I think there seems to be a problem with the pivot-operator.
If you use more than 83 columns, it looks like it allways returns just 1 column (Amount).
For some reason it doesn't do the thing for a column amount less than 84.
So is this just a limit?
If yes, why does there no error message or warning appear?
Is there any workaround for this limitation?

Thanks for your answers. 
(If some of the sentence sound weird, its because english is not my native language)


Edit:
I just noticed that there seem to exist a bug-entry for that:

http://bugs.rapid-i.com/show_bug.cgi?id=245

Still wonder if there is a way around that problem.

Edit again (informations for the developers):
Alright ... i modified the source in eclipse to make that operator work in the way i need it.
Thats what i changed in the file "Example2AttributePivoting.java" as a temporary fix:
  Modified this line:

			constantAttributeValues = true;

  into that:

			constantAttributeValues = false;

I know that this line was there for a reason ... but when i tried to debug it i found out that somehow the condition at:

						if (lastExample.getValue(attribute) != example.getValue(attribute)) {
							constantAttributeValues = false;
							continue;
						}

never gets fired for i=1 (column at i=1 should be my Amount-attribute).
(its weird cos this only happens for a column-amount/item-amount > 83
Not to mention that this line seems to check if the content of the Amount column changed.
Although my Amount column does not even change at <=83  - its allways "1")
