Note: "permalinks" may not be as permanent as we would like,
direct links of old sources may well be a few messages off.


And you are perfectly certain you know what you're doing in setting use-bmbv?

And you are also perfectly certain you want to set max-buffers != 
max-epoch-size?

And you have a good reason to disable the sndbuf-size 512k you had already 
set?

Just my €.02.
