Description
Regardless of the target frame length and buffer size, the rewinder will not store more than 16383 states. A 4GB buffer with 50KB states, both reasonable numbers, would need an 80000 state capacity, so it seems likely we'll go over this. It's not difficult to up this number, I just need some time to think about properly architecting it.
