<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need to increase
the size of the group name. I have done so by increasing MAX_PRIVATE_NAME from
10 to 30. This *seems* to work (has worked so far in limited testing). A few
comments though:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2> 1) Increasing
it to 32 causes a bus error</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2> 2) Increasing
it to 30 works - so there is some set of magic numbers that seem to
work</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2> 3) I noticed
this constant is defined in both sp.h and spread_params.h - why is this defined
in two places?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2> 4) While
modifying these two files I noticed that sp.h defines MAX_GROUP_NAME to be 32,
whereas spread_params.h defines it to be a formula. I updated sp.h so that it
also uses a formula, thus adjusting the value as I increase
MAX_PRIVATE_NAME.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>A couple of
questions:</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>1) Are there any
known issues associated with increasing the size of the group
name?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=20521920-23012004><FONT face=Arial size=2>2) Is there a way to
know what will work (30 vs 32, etc.) or if I need to make it larger do I need to
just use a trial and error approach?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
