+ There is a hard limit for the maximum number of keys as there are only
+ 8 bits in the index file header for the number of keys in a table.
+ This means that 0..255 keys can exist for a table. The idea of
+ HA_MAX_POSSIBLE_KEY is to ensure that one can use myisamchk & tools on
+ a MyISAM table for which one has more keys than MyISAM is normally
+ compiled for. If you don't have this, you will get a core dump when
+ running myisamchk compiled for 128 keys on a table with 255 keys.
