Raster Datasets What is limit to physical number of raster TIFFS that can be placed in QGIS?

Can anyone please let me know if there is a limit to the physical number of raster TIFFS that can be placed in QGIS?

I am trying to bring in a large number of StreetView tiffs from the Ordnance Survey OpenData suite, but have reached a point where I get an error message.

I have imported 1,998 tiles without any problems. When I import the next single file, it doesn't geo-reference correctly. Then the next one brings up the following error message:

"/OS_OpenData/StreetView/no/no05nw.tif is not a supported raster data source"

I am running QGIS 2.12 Lyon on Mac OS X El Capitan (10.10.5). The GDAL version is 1.11.3-1. This also happened on the previous QGIS version (Pisa), so I upgraded today to see if that fixed it.

Many thanks Sean
