Apparently the scalar value $min_bytes is not initialized at this point. 
I did a trivial test which appears to work (but is not likely what you 
want):

<code name="min_bytes">$bytes = 2800; return $bytes</code>

So, it looks like you need to set $min_bytes somewhere in a persistent 
way. I don't know how to achieve this (a quick test with wt script 
didn't work out for me either).

However, a possible solution would be to dynamically derive a value for 
the minimum content size within your code section. A rather useless 
example would be

<code name="min_bytes">return 1 + (time() % 3600)</code>

This actually checks if the content size in bytes is larger than the 
number of seconds into the current hour (pretty useless, isn't it???).

Cheers,

Joe.
