Re: [9front] [PATCH] libndb: remove database size limit

[kvik@a-b.xyz]

Bump.

Repeating patch and message for your convenience:

Libndb enforces a 128k size limit on unhashed database files.
Files exceeding the limit are ignored and complaints are issued.
This seems... suboptimal.

The following patch removes the limit.
