Ah, I certainly didn't mean to go under the radar, so to speak ;-). From
my perspective, the final patch looks like it picked a magic number in
the same way was the original version of this patch did, so I didn't
think to add any more detail there.

I did try and highlight this a little bit in the patch just before the
one you're commenting on, though:

  - Adding more tests in this area. Testing these truncation situations
    are remarkably fragile to even subtle changes in the bitmap
    generation. So, the resulting tests are likely to be quite brittle.

Thanks,
Taylor
