Hi Dave,

Thanks for reviewing,

I was trying to have this translate into "if invalid rowsize was used 
then default to 16" since

hex_dump_to_buffer has a very similar conditional. But I agree, 
logically it looks strange.

If I send a v3 (I also foolishly forgot the v2 tag in this patch), I 
will change this like to

+	     (i) += (rowsize) == 32 ? 32 : 16	\
