For example, for row size equal to 16 the ascii column as in following table group size \ length 8 12 16 1 50 50 50 2 22 32 42 4 20 29 38 8 19 - 36 This patch makes it the same independently of amount of bytes dumped. The change is safe since all current users, which use ASCII part of the dump, rely on the group size equal to 1. The patch doesn't change behaviour for such group size (see the table above).
