...the 128 MB limit has been lifted, though the dox don't say what the
new limit is, I'd expect in the absence of other information that it is
restricted by VFS/VM and general memory subsystem support to 1 or 2 GB
depending on your compile options. Which is a really technical sounding
way of saying I really don't know fsck, but it's more than 128 MB now
