Hello hosts. This V9 fix is particularly important if you used an external ban editor, for example all hosts which are part of the wrecker barricade.
Until test patch V9, LFS only had space for up to 88 bans. If you added bans inside LFS, it handled that - if you exceeded 88, it would discard the oldest ban. But if LFS loaded a ban made in an external editor, and the size was over 88 user name bans, then most likely LFS would crash or cause various possible undesirable effects, because it would simply overwrite some other memory being used by LFS.
V9 has two improvements for this :
1) It can take up to 400 bans now - I hope you never need that!
2) If LFS loads a ban file longer than 400 bans, it will not crash.
