Point of being verbose was to make sure it was clear exactly how this
harmless little bug selectively kills large IO boxen.. and yeah, I'm
pretty sure this was in the real world, but hey, ya never know, looney

Whatever, I suppose the data suffices.  Magnitudes, their sources and
consequences are irrelevant to the bean counting buglet itself.
