There have been grumblings in 9fans from time to time about venti allocating bizarre quantities of memory when explicit cache sizes are not given by parameters or config file definitions.
The default apparently is attempting to use 20% of available RAM in proportions suggested by venti(8), but it turns out that this calculation is being sabotaged by an uninitialized variable and another logic error. A correction is in submitted patch venti-default-memsize.
