Greetings, and thanks for the response.

I simply bumped it by 512, until I got the top of the window. In my
case, this ended up ~78xxx. No big. Just hadn't encountered a "shortage"
like this in dmesg(8). I just found the answer to my question could have
been found in loader(8).

Thanks again, for the reply.
