Re: [Csnd-dev] [EXTERNAL] [Csnd-dev] sysdep.h and MAXLEN for ftables

I was going off what's documented in the manual (
https://csound.com/docs/manual/f.html)

"*p3* -- Size of function table (i.e. number of points) Must be a power of
2, or a power-of-2 plus 1 if this number is positive. Maximum table size is
16777216 (224) points."

I think Giovanni ran into issues with longer sized tables but I don't
recall how long.
