Agreed spec should be tighter here, but I'd argue over 1M indicates buggy hardware.

Ah, I read emails in wrong order.  What you have is what I expected and got
confused about in your other email.

Good question.  My gut says the second one.
Maybe it's worth a warning print to let us know something
unexpected happened.
