That might be what it does on macOS, but it's not what it does on 
GNU/Linux.  With my configuration the successive values are 109, 105, 102, 
98, 94, 90, 87, 83, ... or with 6 instead of 5: 109, 102, 98, 90, 83, ...

So it seems that after all simply remplacing 5 by 6 isn't optimal.

Is this bug specific to the most recent version of macOS?
