OK, so that is why that number looked close to being familiar.... 1022 times .... vs 1024 (one of the magical numbers)
Yep, it is a 9 cyl 3390 warm start area also. But I do like the black hole theory.

Other 8 bytes used for date stamp and other control info. Aren't you glad you asked? Wouldn't like to SPXTAPE that amount.
