I hate replying to my own mail, but I guess I wasn't finished... :-)

Make that                SEGMAPSIZE.

Also several of the machines have this in mem.h:

#define SEGMAPSIZE 64 /* 16 is for wooses */

This would imply that all is necessary is to change 16 to 64 in pc/mem.h,
but that would be too simple...

Thanks again.
