Right, the if below will make sure we don't run off the end, but unless
rpm->batch_cache has a sentinel at the end we can't guarantee we won't
run off the end of the array and into some other portion of memory that
also has a bit set in a word. And then we may read into some unallocated
space. Or maybe I missed something.

Is that for bus scaling?

OK! That is sad.

Oh, I was hoping for more details, not less.
