Good.
But apparently it wasn't backported to 6.4.svn:

[neteler at localhost r.patch]$ pwd
/home/neteler/grass64_release/raster/r.patch

[neteler at localhost r.patch]$ grep MAXFILES *
nfiles.h: * Must be smaller than MAXFILES as defined in lib/gis/G.h which
nfiles.h:#define MAXFILES 200

Any objections to backport it? I want to avoid last minute breaks
but since it has been tested for 2 years...
