Arbitrary numbers should be documented.

Much of this function is cut-n-paste from blk-lib.c. Is there any way
to factor it out?

Funny name for a function that also merges segments. ;-) I admit I am
at a loss for coming up with a better name that won't overflow 80
columns.

Other than that, this looks sane.
