NFSEQ limit?

We've come up against an interesting problem with notesfile - we have been
adding groups  and have arrived at a NFSEQ string of 12 notesfile names,
serving about 400 users.  What happens now is that the 'checknotes' ( -v flag )
program stops short  after encountering the 5th non-permitted notesfile group
in NFSEQ.  Because of the diversity of functions from one group to the another
most users have access to more than one note, so we've been able to very 
carefully sequence the items in the string and tailor distinct NFSEQ variables
dependent on work groups.  Initial set-up was a bother, but we're now able to
fit a new user into an existing group and to add a new notesfile to suitable
NFSEQ strings.    Would much rather have found the code that limits failures
to 5 but failed in that.  Is this a known problem?  How have other groups 
addressed it?  Is there an obvious solution that we've missed (I don't want to
hear about it)?
