   I think it is because the selectors are not necessarily   
   spaced 64k apart. They may only be 8k apart for example,   
   for better granularity. It would change depending on how   
   much memory is available (and designed to max out the   
   available selectors).   
      
   Therefore I would be dividing the offset by 8 to find out how   
   many selectors I need to advance.   
      
   Although this would only be relevant if I needed the pointers   
   normalized, which Visual C++ doesn't appear to be doing.
