Of course, you could go in and perform surgery on the paging & vread code
and rip out all the pg_fod from pg_fileno stuff, and thus get rid of the
31 max files limit.  (As I recall the limit would be 32 except that they
use a special number to indicate that pg_fileno isn't valid and instead
it's a text segment being fod'ed.  Just changing the whole thing to toss
out vread would probably clean much stuff up immensely.  And, how many
people actually *use* vread??)
