Does anyone know where to find this "magic number"?
I did a grep for lines with "file" and "16" in them and turned up nothing
helpful.
The most promising 16 I found was in Queue Length in kernel.h
...but past expereince tells me that this would have impact on a number of
other areas.

The tricky bit is knowing how to make the required change. Once that is done.
It is a very simple task for anyone to compile and maintain their own
personal build.
