Comment(by nickm):

 So, here's the best revised behavior I can think of on changing an
 accounting period in progress:

  * If the period start moves backwards, remember the old bytes.
  * If the period start moves forwards, and there's more than 2% overlap,
 remember the old bytes.
  * Otherwise, if the period start moves forward and the old period
 overlaps the new one less than 2%, then don't remember the old bytes.

 But before we implement this, we should figure out bug #1789, which might
 mean that accounting is broken in other ways.
