Hello!

Well, not all the world is Linux or BSD. Since beginning, most parts of BIRD
avoid any such system dependencies and I still think it's a good idea.

Also, it's generally a good practice to avoid arbitrary limits on size
of anything, at least as long as it does not make the code unnecessarily
complex.

				Have a nice fortnight
