 Hi Chad,
 
 I've been using it for a while (3 different databases with an
 average of about 1000 in each). No problem encountered so far. I
 had done some testings at the time, I don't remember how much it
 covered but I think it was relatively exhaustive.
 
 The queue files are just numbers (1, 2...), their length can't
 grow very big (7 would already mean gnats is unusable: 100000
 files in a directory!), so I don't think there's much point in
 coming up with a macro for that. If you care about numbers
 greater than 10^31, then you'll have to care about numbers
 wrapping when you reach your greatest integer.
 
 Cheers,
 Stephane
