It would be more logical to only use REGSIZE then, heh.

You could start the cleanup by doing

#define DEFAULT_REGSIZE DEFAULT_REGSPACING

and using REGSIZE in the new code.  Or replace s/REGSPACING/REGSIZE/
throughout.  Or something.

Not your fault though, just leave it as-is if you don't feel
like fixing others' mess :-)
