I do *not* think we should bow down to insane man-pages that have
always been wrong, though, and I don't think we should increase it to
"let's just read-ahead a whole ISO image" kind of sizes..

Okay, how about something like 256MB? I would be happy to send a patch
for that change.

Sorry I was too fast. I think some thing like 16MB? I 'll send patch
with that (unless you different size in mind).
