Ah, I don't think it ever even crossed my mind to look for changes here, 
but of course if the node regions have grown from 16KB to 64KB then it's 
only natural that offsets grow to match. I expect the CMN-700 config 
that we tested on internally would have been small enough for this not 
to make a difference. Thanks for the catch!
