Oh, and here comes lapwing:
- regression_slot | 1 | 12
+ regression_slot | 1 | 10
So if it weren't that prairiedog showed 11 not 10, we'd have a nice
neat it-depends-on-MAXALIGN theory. As is, I'm not sure what all
is affecting it, though MAXALIGN sure seems to be a component.
(locust seems to be AWOL at the moment, so I'm not holding my breath
for that one to report in.)
