Right ... there is that... so, you're essentially stuck with 32 unless
this changes...

This actually wouldn't be that hard to fix... essentially, make
the openmasks pointers to arrays of ints, dynamically allocated
in disk_attach() (and freed in disk_detach()), and then have a
collection of functions designed to manipulate the masks.  Simple,
but annoying.  :-)
