Hmm, it depends mostly on whether the parsed was greater or less than the
length. If it's less than it is something to do with additional padding
being added at the end, which I havn't worked out yet. I'm thinking of
supressing the warning where the remaining looks like padding.

If it's greater, there is a problem.

Same or different tables?
