I hope you know already that LinkLabel throws Overflow error if you put more then 32 links in it. The error occurs when painting the LinkLabel (stack trace below) in the SetMeasurableCharacterRanges function.
This happens to be known limitation of GDI+ and the potential solution is to chunk the CharacterRange into smaller chunks.
I can't understand how it was allowed to publish this control with such
obvious bug. Please advise if there is any workaround for this.

Hi!
This is a limitation in the GDI+ API. There is no workaround for this; you may need to split your link label.
