I can do this on several 10.1-stable systems, but I understood
from the email trail that there is no guarantee that nothing
will be broken by such change. I know there is never a guarantee,
but..

Even on 10.1-stable I see in statfs(2):
#define MNAMELEN 88 /* size of on/from name bufs */
So perhaps changing MNAMELEN will break statfs(2) on
-stable too?
