32 is way more than I could practically use.  I assume that the SDL also allows at least that many?  The way you worded your answer implies "yes," but just I want to be absolutely clear on this: nothing will stop me from actually USING at least 8 joysticks?

Does this mean I can't load images and the like into my game until this gets fixed?  Because that would be a major problem.
