I think the HAL name length should be increased from the current 47 to
something more substantial, like 127 or 255. I've run into and over the
limit several times.
And, running over the limit can cause some interesting crashes where you
would not expect it (and hard to debug). Sure, the length checks should
have been there everywhere, but they are not. The error tests and
controls are apparently too lax.
That also invites the thought that many components need to be updated to
perform proper and consistent error checking, through and through.
Possible errors at module load/init time are not always handled or
handled properly.
While we're at it, the shared mem size could also be upped (maybe to 48M
or 64M) as there are no longer real issues with physical memory pressure
anyway. The data sets have also become larger with the transition to
64-bit systems.
