Oops, thanks for pointing it out. I have to run the test in the test environment...

Yes, it needs to test with 8192 and 8193 nodes. Those are
boundary checker.

Thanks!

Ah, it hits the size limitation. :D

Each node consumes "node%d\n" = 6-11 bytes, and 11 bytes*8k = 88k bytes > 32K bytes.
So, for making 8k nodes (including delimiter), we need to use 3 random alphabets for
node name. (26^3 = 17576)

Let me fix that and thanks for report!
