Robert,
If this was a test, and you know the answer, please tell us what it was and how you got it. (trade secrets need not be revealed, of course). I thought I knew one way to find it, but the dump command I want to use doesn't work on 9 !! Using rather crude methods, some tests I have just invented seem to indicate that the answer is 4,000 bytes.
