The man page seemed to imply that values under 4096 would be treated as KiB so -e 128 
should be correct. However the page size looks like it doesn't do that and so it should be 
set to 2048.

As an aside do I need to specify the -c option or is it not needed? If it is needed is 12 
the correct size for the clean marker?

Thanks,

Will
