 Sounds fine to me.  As a matter of fact, I use 32768.
 The question is what the folks who decided to make this change have
 to say.
 I don't know why the particular value of 64k was chosen.
 
 I'm interested to hear the reason behind Matt Dillon's reservation
 about going beyond 32k, noted in the CVS log (if he had such
 reservation at all).
