ubuntu 8.04 needs larger puresize?

This morning I checked out and built cvs emacs on my ubuntu 8.04
desktop:

'cat /proc/version': Linux version 2.6.24-19-generic (buildd <at> terranova)
(gcc version 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)) #1 SMP Fri Jul 11 23:41:49
UTC 2008

GNU Emacs 23.0.60.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.9) of
2008-08-18 on billw-desktop

and upon starting emacs I received a warning that "building emacs
overflowed pure space".  Following rms in this thread:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.pretest.bugs/19406/focus=19446, I
bumped up puresize by 10000 and rebuilt, and all is well now.  Here's a
diff:
