Gosh, you were certainly right there! Now inserting 65535 works, but
inserting 65536 gives me 0 unless I cast to uint4!

Searching the mailing list is not working for the individual mailing
lists (I get Error: File Not Found - Did you enter the correct domain
name, or URL? from ReadySetNet), and searching through all the files at
uni-erlangen.de turned up nothing. 

Can somebody tell me when that discussion took place? Or tell me where
to look in the code?

Thanks!
