I was recently loading some new communications s/w onto one of our
Tower 32/650s for the first time.  When the update had been loaded
and the kernel was being relinked etc a message came up saying that the
dimension table had overflowed processing a particular header file
(I think it was sys/io.h).

This system has quite a lot of comms software loaded so I expect
this has something to do with it.

Anyway I increased the -Sd,2000 in the CFLAGS to -Sd,3000 and tried
again.  It worked okay.

Any comments on this ?  i.e. is it an indication that we are putting
too much into the kernel or is it just a matter of 2000 being the
normal default for most users.

Also I would not expect the 2000 to 3000 change to have made any
difference to the resultant kernel i.e. size wise, would it ?
