I wonder if jar128.prg is configurable by changing the number 128 to equal
the amount of cookie jar entries to be used, and if so, I suspect it
supports only a 2-digit number, so it is reading 128 as 28. MiNT is then
adding 16 making 44, and that is being rounded up to the nearest multiple
of perhaps 8 or 16 which results in 48. Just a guess. Can you verify that
jar128 really is providing 128 cookie jar entries?

Anyway, why would you need 128 entries?
