This is because you cannot specify a number greater than 4095 with three
hexadecimal digits.  The Binkley-style outbound uses the extension of the
directory name to indicate the zone (for zones other than the primary
zone). Since the extension cannot be more than three characters (on DOS FAT
file systems anyway), you cannot have an outbound for a zone greater than
4095 (16^3-1).
