  There does appear to be an existing bug open for the issue [1] (and which
I've updated), and Andrew does note there that "it can easily be changed".

   I agree and wonder why it was set to such a low number (as three) to begin
with...

   In any case and besides the possibly separate issue of adding something  like
a MAXAGE option (which would also need a default), that does bring up the
question of just what number to set it to?  There needs to be some kind of a
default maximum number...


 ML> And I still haven't heard back from Andrew. :(

   I recently (1/14) emailed him about a separate issue; still haven't heard
back from him regarding it...
