     There does appear to be an existing bug open for the issue [1] (and which    
   I've updated), and Andrew does note there that "it can easily be changed".

      I agree and wonder why it was set to such a low number (as three) to begin    
   with...   
      
      In any case and besides the possibly separate issue of adding something    
   like a MAXAGE option (which would also need a default), that does bring up the    
   question of just what number to set it to?  There needs to be some kind of a    
   default maximum number...   
      
      
    ML> And I still haven't heard back from Andrew. :(   
      
      I recently (1/14) emailed him about a separate issue; still haven't heard    
   back from him regarding it...
