CCD_IMAGE_SATURATION is in the header of every SMV file the corpus holds, and it
is the value a saturated pixel carries, as the marCCD field is. The reader never
read it, and said in a comment that saturation was "judged on the 16-bit
container alone" - which the line below it made untrue: the pixels are handed out
as 32-bit, so the fallback limit was INT32_MAX and no SMV pixel could ever be
called saturated, whatever the detector did.
The limit is now the header's value, or the container's maximum where a writer
states none - said explicitly rather than left to the fallback, for the reason
above. One of the new open-arm sets carries pixels at exactly 65535.
