Why do you think IBM did anything other than that?

I never said (or intended to imply) that IBM did not wildly over-allocate the table size (since the "extra" space is insignificant as I indicated) to avoid the running out of slots that the original querent asked about (ie: [paraphrasing] "What will happen if IBM runs out of slots to assign and a PTF to expand the table size needed to be issued?"). I was just responding to say what I would do and neglected to qualify it with something on the order of "and I assume that IBM did something on this order".
