Out of space in dist table

[Bjorn Gustavsson]

Only hidden nodes will be re-cycled. Hidden nodes are usually
written the erl_interface library. Ordinary Erlang nodes are not
hidden.

The R9B and R9C releases contains a better solution to the problem;
the former limit of 255 nodes has been removed.
