Block count is too small.
$

The solution is to try -b<SIZE>.

In this case "-b1600" was still too small, but "-b3200" worked.

I would like one of the following solutions, from most preferred
to least:

a) make par2 work with any blocksize.

b) change default behavior: automatically increase the block size
   until a working size is found and use that (with a warning).
   Just doubling the size on each try should suffice.

c) add a command line switch that allows par2 to change the
   behavior to the one in b).

d) Expand "Block count is too small." to "Block count is too small.
   Try -b<$working_block_count>."
   Use a specific error code so scripts can detect this situation
   easier.

e) Expand "Block count is too small." to "Block count is too small.
   Try -b<NUMBER> where NUMBER > $current_block_count."
   Use a specific error code so scripts can detect this situation
   easier.
