I have no idea what it is used for. It'd be useful if it was a
real maximum though, since it would conveniently negate the need
to use UT_NAMESIZE/utmp.h and MAXLOGNAME (which only need be large
enough, but must only be > maximum). The real maximum is the lesser
of both, after adjusting MAXLOGNAME to include the NUL (the real
maximum in -current is therefore 15 characters, not 16).

atrun.c

There's one more userland change in the queue (not yet committed),
but I can't remember what it is off-hand. I should be committing it
in the next couple of days.
