I don't think that's a regression, nor really a bug. It looks cosmetic,
and likely to be fixed, but not really worth worrying about.
OK, I've dropped it from the list.
I'm okay with that. The problem causes some backwards compatibility
problems with existing apps that get confused by the large "offset"
number. The fix is going to cause problems too, but in a different way.
We'll work around it.
