LegendreP -- up to which order?

I compute the surface potentials generated by dipols within a homogeneous sphere
by using the associated Legendre Polynomials of first kind.
The symmetric results caused by the angle positions are good for an order < 60
(Mathematica 5.1, 64 Bit optimized). The order is indicated in the cyan
parameter field by 'm' (over sigma).
*******************
The question is: What do you think about 'm' - how big can (should) I set the
value for 'm'? (over sigma)
There are failures (outliers for some angles) in the case m>65.
Please help me (can you post it in the group for me?)
Thanks

Mathematica-Compatible Notebook
This notebook can be used with any Mathematica-compatible
application, such as Mathematica, MathReader or Publicon. The data
for the notebook starts with the line containing stars above.
To get the notebook into a Mathematica-compatible application, do
one of the following:
* Save the data starting with the line of stars above into a file
with a name ending in .nb, then open the file inside the
application;
* Copy the data starting with the line of stars above to the
clipboard, then use the Paste menu command inside the application.
Data for notebooks contains only printable 7-bit ASCII and can be
sent directly in email or through ftp in text mode. Newlines can be
CR, LF or CRLF (Unix, Macintosh or MS-DOS style).
NOTE: If you modify the data for this notebook not in a Mathematica-
compatible application, you must delete the line below containing
the word CacheID, otherwise Mathematica-compatible applications may
try to use invalid cache data.
