This is strange, since according to my documentation, the value should have
been initialized to 0xff and never been changed. Can you test setting this
value during initialisation (around line 259, if I read correctly) instead?
I don't know if I can test it myself soon enough.

(I'm not the maintainer, I just happen to have some documentation).
