And, naturally, re-reading the email as it hit the list made me realize
that the documentation/error-message incorrectly said "3rd and 4th"
bytes were being set to FF and FE, when it's actually the 4th and 5th
byte.  The code was correct, just the documentation and the error
message had the wrong numbers.  The commit message is also correct.
