Update of /cvsroot/src/usr.sbin/rpc.statd
In directory netbsd1:/var/slash-tmp/cvs-serv15752

Modified Files:
	statd.c 
Log Message:
Only map 16MBytes of file, enough for some 16000 hosts on the LAN.
Stopgap fix for PR 4225 by Matthias Scheler (rpc.statd doesn't run on m68k).

XXX This should be done in a different way. XXX

Matthias proposes to use a PMAP capable of mapping more than 256 MB
per user process (You can do this by changing your vm_param constants 
even now).

However, statd could use saner data structure to save on address space
easily. E.g., most host names will be much smaller than the allocated
1024(+1 for trailing zero) bytes. Using variable length names would
allow, depending on environment, a factor of 30 more hosts per address
space.

Btw, if anybody really needs more than 16k hosts handled by statd, the
data structure is unsuable anyway; currently, the array of entries is
linearly searched. Something like a DB_BTREE should be used.
