At the beginning of the CF, I do a sweep of patch files emailed to
-hackers and not in the CF.  I believe there were three such of yours,
take a look at the CF list.  Like I said, better to track them
unnecessarily than to lose them.

Well, I think that someone needs to actually test doing a sort with,
say, 100GB of RAM and make sure it doesn't crash.  Anyone have a machine
they can try that on?
