Sorry, I should have more specific:

I'm running 1.2b16 which has 13 KB as a default.
Unlike 1.1.20 which just issued the warning, 1.2b16 crashes.
Looking at the code, I already found the filemap stuff and lowered
store_avg_object_size to 5 KB.
I just wanted to know if that is the recommended way to go.
Are there any negative effects of setting it that
low (maybe overdimensioned filemap, i.e. waste of memory ?)

Markus
