That's a very large number of samples per symbol. I know I tested up
to 10, but more than that's pretty excessive. Ok, more than 2 is
excessive, really. Off the top of my head, I can't think of exactly
what might be going wrong here, but you should really never need to
use that many samples per symbol, anyway.
