Greetings Neal,

I've recently found that there is a big bug in the database code when=20
the size of a page is reduced, as when re-indexing.  Rather than=20
hacking my earlier hack to limit the depth of recursion, we might=20
have to implement a proper fix before the beta goes out.  However, I=20
don't think I'll have time for that for the next two months :(

Translation:  I'm in favour of your checking it in.

Yes, it was only ever meant to be a hack to tide us over until after=20
the next beta.  That variable (and the config variable) will=20
disappear before 3.2.0b6...
