I've been looking at the allocated list of keys, and I notice a possible problem: One user has allocated 50,000 segements: 0c2b-cf7a NOACK 0c2b 50000 Joe Thomas <jthomas@ogi.com> Now, it's possible this fellow has some vast farm of high-speed workstations, but I doubt it. Finger suggests that this is a linux box. My suspicion - and let me apologize in advance if I'm wrong - is that Mr. Thomas thinks he's allocated himself 50,000 keys, whereas he's actually got 838,860,800,000. Mr Thomas, if you're listening, PLEASE tell us what's going on. You've reserved 3/4 of the keyspace, and you're going to screw up the search unless you have an NSA-sized data center. I suggest we assume this is an error, and remove the block from the reserved list so that it can be re-allocated.
