I just accidentally ran into an ugly surprise turning up some 4006/SupIV's
with full tables. There's a 128K hardware fib table limit. Crack it, and
CEF shuts down. There's an unallocated 350M block lying around. Took the
TAC a while to point out the fine print, and now I face the pleasure of a
forklift upgrade.
