Yeah, I'll fix the various hardcoded sizes. Thanks.

Didn't know we had it. I'll look into it.

Yeah..

.. but then we aren't susceptible to the problem, right?

I sometimes waffle on whether it's better for a test to create a
problematic situation and test it, or run on the configuration specified
by the user and test a particular scenario against that. Maybe the
former makes more sense in this very specific test case, but then I
suppose "cowextsize blksz*2" (or whatever large enough value) is
probably more robust than "cowextsize 0" (which I assume means "default"
and thus can change, right)?
