I've looked at this erratum
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/errata_search.php?eid=4097) and I don't think
I understand it.

It contains a section titled "Section 3.1.5 says" and a section titled
"It should say", but the bodies of the two sections are exactly the
same.  (I used a text editor to compare them.)  So what change is
described by the erratum?

There is a section titled "Notes" which says:

    Use a divisor of 256 to determine the height, where 8 / 256 = 32.

    Ensure FragmentOffset does not exceed 2^24, if it does then use 2^24
    - value)

The first line does not seem to describe the computation described in
the RFC text, and the equation in that line is incorrect.  (Was it
supposed to be 256 / 8 = 32?)

The second line seems to be entirely unrelated to the rest of the
erratum.  Perhaps it belongs in another erratum?  It also contains an
unmatched ")".
