I found that this only happened when 51 pixels or fewer of the last row of
a section were visible at the top of the screen. The row height returned
was 97. So 51 was a baffling number, not being half the row height or of
any other significance I could see.

Do you think you can use serialization to a NSData (a memory block) instead? It
