Public bug reported:

If a large number of networks is configured it may be impossible to
connect to some of them as a regular user, because they are not listed.

It affects all the versions I tested: trusty, utopic, vivid and wily.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Configure a large number of networks (in my case it was 250).
2. Run nmcli c.

Expected result:
nmcli should list all available networks.

Actual result:
Only a random (yes, it changes a bit with every call) subset of all connection is displayed - about 130 connections.

If there are e.g. VPN connections among all connections you may end up
with being not able to connect to them until you get lucky and the
connection you need will be "drawn" to the available pool.
