What's going on with the spare 156 bytes on the end?

tiny85 is supposed to have 8kb of memory, 8kb is 8192 bytes exactly, but USBtinyLoader-tiny85 is only 8,036 bytes big when read from device and saved as raw bytes. What's the dealio yo? What are those 156 extra bytes all about? Seems like a lot of FFFF to be hanging around in a bootloader. With a page size of 64 bytes it seems like the bootloader should be able to slide two pages over towards the end? Is there a reason for it?
