ah, i have no extra partition to use as tmp for buildindex. i've done  
a 'fmtindex -a' for now.

the index is now 3.3% of the arenas space. it's at the lower end, but  
it should be fine, right?

something that's puzzling me -- can arena sizes be increased to fit a  
modern dvd? would venti benefit from this?
