The problem is not how it is defined, but what value it contains.  In
your case, its value was not a multiple of 8, hence your problem.

Other people have already explained how to properly use its value to
get the relevant bundle address (clear the least significant 4 bits). 
Do the proper masking in your macro and you should get the expected
results.
