    Hi all.

    I have just released a patch to the Linux-Hams mailing list that adds
    support for up to 32,000 satellites to PREDICT 2.1.5 in MultiTrack mode,
    and thus to the prediction server therein. This also labels itself as
    being version 2.1.5.1 rather than 2.1.5 so should be easy to detect by
    clients, and it also adds support for the GET_MAXSATS server command
    which returns the maximum number of satellites that the server is
    configured to handle.

    Please note that I don't have anything like 32,000 keplers, so I have
    not been able to test how the server handles that limit in
    responses. However, I have veerified that MultiTrack mode works fine
    with the limit configured that high on my 32M P166 based system, and
    that in an 80x50 text console, it displays details of the first 74
    satellites in the list - I have details for 117 satellites here.

    PLEASE TEST HEAVILY - and if you can break it, please let me know and
    I'll look into sorting it out.

    Best wishes from Riley.
