Perhaps this parameter should be used by default when mapping for Half-Life 2? It seems that without it, there are problems with clipping and displacements when using the new SDK and the old code that Half-Life 2 uses.

Also, there's a command line option in vbsp: -novirtualmesh This will not revert to the previous behavior exactly (it essentially reverts to the linux behavior on win32 & linux - which uses more memory on win32 than the previous code). I haven't tested this with an old mod under linux yet, but it's possible that this can be used as a workaround.
