There have been some skirmishes surrounding the Gandalf hashtables before. The
previous versions were believed to be stronger with 56MB compared to 104MB. I
know that Steen wanted to make sure that the hashing was bugfree before allowing
for 200MB hash. All things considered it should work with 200MB, because the
option exists. But I wouldn't discount the opposite either.
