- Hmmm. This reminds me of something, but I'm not sure what. Probably something
- quite irrelevent, but just in case: Isn't there a linker limit of some sort,
- wherein, if you've got more than a certain number of (damn! I can't think of

- pages? Maybe my putting it this way will jog someone else's memory, I hope?
