I have to admit that I was skeptical about the idea of doing anything
about this at all the first few times it came up.  16MB ought to be
good enough for anyone!  However, the time between beatings has now
gotten short enough that the bruises don't have time to heal before
the next beating arrives from a completely different customer.  I try
not to hold my views so firmly as to be impervious to contrary
evidence.
