I haven't tested the specific boundaries yet, but I will do that shortly.

I *was* able to get a crash dump on the i386 system - Will post the details=
 shortly.

My amd64 system is a test system with ZFS, so I couldn't get a crash dump. =
  Trying to work around that.

On both systems, I used a 72K file (73,688 bytes) to test.  Both systems wo=
