Fortunately for you (and countless others), Adager has ALWAYS enforced
multiples-of-the-blocking-factor values for InitialCapacity,
MaximumCapacity, and Increment.  This applies whenever you enable a detail
dataset for DDX with Adager and whenever you specify new values (via
Adager) for an already-enabled-for-DDX detail dataset.
 
To increase even more your defenses, as provided by the Adager fortress,
I'm just incorporating the final touches on a super-water-tight version of
Adager that, in addition to all of the above, checks for further
consistency in the "Increment" arena.  Including, ironically, a relaxation
of an unnecessarily super-strict check on IncrementPercentage (which,
beginning in 1994, I was not allowing to be more than 100%).
 
Ah... good-old-DDX.  It sounds simple but it requires a lot of work in the
background.
