Subject: PRD_ENTRIES is 256
Date: Wed, 25 Feb 2004 01:53:17 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20040225095317.GJ693@holomorphy.com> (raw)

PRD_ENTRIES is specified to be precisely 256; on platforms where
PAGE_SIZE varies from 4KB the calculation in the current expression
defining it is inaccurate, which may cause crashes. This patch changes
it to the constant literal 256.
