Not from me.  I explicitly mentioned 256.

Length field 0 corresponds  to a move of 1 byte;
Length field 255 corresponds to a move of 256 bytes.

Hence, given N, an integer representing the length to be moved,
it becomes necessary to subtract 1 from N before using that value
in an EX in conjunction with MVC, CLC, etc.

When N is initially zero, as in the case of an empty string,
it becomes necessary to avoid the EX.
