Sorry, this was my fault, I accidentally added a w during testing to see
what constraints were valid (given that my assembly knowledge is nearly
non-existence so forgive the non-sensical experimentation) and I used
that message rather than the original one. This is the unadulterated one.

This doesn't appear to work, I get this error:
