I was told the twe in FBSD 4 was not PAE 'safe'. Unless DFLY ported over the
twe from FBSD 5, I assumed its current twe had the same issue.
This PAE feature just brought back bad memory of the 286 UNIX V. I may be
able to last till the 64Bit OS ready if I don't have to allocate addition to
the 500Mb dirhash. Is anyone thinking about a disk base indexed directory
structure for DLFY?
