It is interesting, that GBLSECTIONS has a default of 1024 nowadays.

I had a value to choose and I took a power of 2 (because *I* like it).
This also gave it a little reserve. But value isn't that important.
It will probably change/increase with the first AUTOGEN with FEEDBACK.
I'm on 1230 and 3000 currently...

Yes, the CLUSTER_CONFIG*.COM do this, but they are not run after
the reboot when you are asked (again and again) to rerun AUTOGEN...
