That would only net us 32 vectors at the most. That probably wouldn't be
sufficient in many cases where we are currently having vector shortage.
Unfortunately I don't have access to my failing system to say how may
vectors I was short but I believe it was more than that.
(I am also not sure I understand what is meant by "freeing". Where are
they going?)
