I should add to this that I have no objection to seeing it raised in 5.x-stable. I'm just saying that even if we do raise it right now, there are a lot of users who will not be helped if the value is only changed in 5.x-stable. I (personally) would rather not see it changed so close to 5.4-release, but it might make sense to increase it in -stable shortly after 5.4-release. I have no opinion on what value it should be changed to, though, if we do increase it. I do not work in that part of the system, so I don't know all the pros and cons that would be involved. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu
