From: Cornelia Huck cmf currently prints a message that more than 4096 channels are not allowed in basic mode - however, this can only be enforced if cmf was a module (which is no longer possible). It makes much more sense to not check the specified number of channels and just print a message if the block for basic mode could not be allocated (which may happen for any number of specified channels).
