Duh.  Turns out the input data byte stream is terminated with a <cr> for
each line.

As a clarification, the byte count is a count of the total data bytes after
they are expanded; it is not a count of the bytes in the input stream.  In
addition, despite the input bytes representing 2-bit nozzles, 4 per byte,
it is not possible to specify a repeat of anything other than a 4-nozzle
adjacent group on a 4 nozzle boundary.  This is because the input stream is
treated as a stream of bytes, not a stream of bits.
