If in fact there is as much of a problem as you say (have you tried
it yet), it certainly shouldn't be much of a problem to edit the RL
source so that the VARSZ$ .SPFUN returns a larger size. Remember,
the whole idea behind VARSZ$ was to remove any device-specific size
dependencies from the RT monitor or utilities. If it reports that
the disk is a larger size, so be it.
I'd certainly try that (after simply trying it without making the
change).
