It's related to a memory allocation during VoiceMailMain.  If you
increase that number, you will be increasing the amount of memory
used by that application.  It's not necessarily deleterious on the
performance of Asterisk, but the limit had to be set somewhere (and
100 is more than enough for most installations).

Perhaps what you really should be asking is, "why am I receiving more
than 100 messages between the times when I check my voicemail, and
what can I do to either decrease that number or arrange for voicemail
to be checked more often?"
