Thanks Pawel  :-)

It's repeatable.  I've been testing with ~350 notes.  The first two notes
have always been stored in the same location.  The remaining notes have also
been stored in the same location or the next (and, on one run, the next):

This variability could be explained by it being a hardware-dependent timing
issue.
