For performance reasons, RT 4.2 switches to an autocomplete box once the
number of possible owners grows beyond 50.  If it did so suddenly, it's
a fair bet that someone handed out OwnTicket too broadly, and the
autocompleter is saving you from a drop-down that would otherwise
contain, say, all users in your system.
