If you do hardcode it, be sure to use something like fatalx() to
indicate whether there are more outlets than the code can handle. This
sounds unlikely, but it could happen if there is an error parsing
something earlier on.

Otherwise, as Arjen suggested, you could allocate it dynamically. The
xmalloc() function in common/common.c does out-of-memory checking for
you.
