I don't see an advantage to having a different range, but maybe it
should error out if $maxoid reaches FirstBootstrapObjectId.
This patch breaks reformat_dat_file.pl. I've attached a fix, which
also de-lists oid as a special key within the *.dat files. It might be
good to put off reformatting until feature freeze, so as not to break
others' patches.
