Style? You actually mean that there's a consistent style in the 
openafs source? ;)

Is there a coding style documented somewhere by the way?

Uh. Yeah. Obviously it should be:

cacheFiles = max(cacheFiles, 1000);

If you read Jeffreys post from when we discussed this, he suggested 
32kB (his cell showed 50kB avg) and since nobody complained it was 
deemed that it was a good suggestion. Other data also backs that 10kB 
is a little small nowadays.
