One small nit. Could this be:

	int was_enabled;
	int ret;

I prefer only joining variables that are related on the same line.
Makes it look cleaner IMO.

Bah, not sure why I didn't do it this way to begin with. I think I
copied something else that couldn't do it this way for some reason and
didn't put any brain power behind the copy. :-/ But that was back in
2008 so I blame it on being "young and stupid" ;-)

Other then the above nit and removing the unneeded +1 in max_entries:
