Oh yeah that was clear from the beggings, there was just a typo in my
initial suggestion to fix what I _think_ the problem is (which I've fixed
inlined so you might have missed it).

So yeah I still think we're not properly padding, if you take my earlier
example where repl2 = 5 bytes, repl1 = 4 bytes and orin_insn = 3.

I'll let you re-read my original mail and come back to me to tell me what'd
I really miss! :)
