Hi Borislav:
I'm sorry to bother you again. Do you mind if I make the following changes?
I can't stand so many comments appearing twice. Even if the size needs to be
changed in the future, mode "low_size = CRASH_LOW_SIZE_MIN + <increment>" can
be used for adaptation without affecting other architectures.
