	Even at that, MAXUSERS still contributes to the mb_map size. I see
  your point, though, in the sense that by setting up NMBCLUSTERS, the
  overall size of mb_map will be affected by that setting, and not
  MAXUSERS, in general.
  	So here's the question: Why not remove MAXUSERS' influence over the
  size of the mb_map, and just have it influenced by a single option?
