I like having a "cushion of error" to stop things hitting the limits
of values; this helps minimize possible security problems.

I would like to thank Milan Kupcevic for submitting this patch; I will
look at it next week sometime.

William Summers provided me with a patch to compile MaraDNS under
OpenBSD last week; I finally integrated this patch in to the "HEAD
branch" of MaraDNS and it can be seen in a snapshot I uploaded
yesterday (20090219):
