Sounds odd indeed. I assume this happens when scale setting is requested 
using one of the exact values advertised by the available scales from 
the GTS? This does not feel right and the +1 does not ring a bell to me. 
I need to investigate what's going on. It would help if you could 
provide the values used as val and val2 for the setting.

This will take a while from me though - I'll try to get to this next 
week. Thanks for pointing out the anomaly!
