Subject: [PATCH] MAX_PAUSE to be at least 4
Date: Mon, 21 Jan 2013 14:07:34 +1100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <201301210307.r0L37YuG018834@como.maths.usyd.edu.au> (raw)

Ensure MAX_PAUSE is 4 or larger, so limits in
	return clamp_val(t, 4, MAX_PAUSE);
(the only use of it) are not back-to-front.

(This patch does not solve the PAE OOM issue.)
