Harmless, I hope, but it doesn't change that 256 is hard-coded in multiple 
places AND that the caller has to get it right too .. if the caller passes a 
shorter array things can still go wrong.
Why can't we EVERYWHERE use the definition used to create the array passed in
        KB_STATE_SIZE = 256
instead of a mixture.
