Yes. For a long time, there was an autoconf-run-test to determine the limit, but that is insufficient, since it's hard to test all file systems that are available at build time, and impossible to know what new systems will end up being used. And it's not Darwin-specific. Hmm.. but the only other system listed in comments is SunOS, which is essentially dead, these days. Though I seem to recall there being at least one other. But maybe I should do that, after all, along with adding a "make check" test to detect any new disfunctional systems. But not right now :) And maybe never. First, I'll profile to see if it's even worth considering.
