Still I'm slighly confused:
If the default is 16 and you set it to (let's say) 18, by which power of two
will the value be increased?
2^18 - 2^16 is not a power of 2, so you could increase the value three times
by 2^16 (one to make 2^17, and another two to make 2^18).
But I still guess the value is simply set to 2^18, whatever the increase from
the default might be.
Can you confirm?

Ulrich
