That's better.  I've set mine (in 7.2.3) to 1024.  I'm at 50ish
operations right now and that number has the potential to grow, perhaps
even past 100.  That's why I was asking if it could become a
configuration setting.

Is making it configurable technically possible (ie, can rewriteHandler
access GUC parameters?), and if I invested the time to make it happen,
would a patch be accepted?  I really don't want to continue to modify
the source every time I install postgres.
