Comment(by arma):

 Replying to [comment:13 arma]:
 > I have no idea if it fixes performance in any noticeable way; I've been
 toying with the idea of asking Rob to run a Shadow simulation with and
 without this patch.

 Specifically, I have a distant hope that fixing this bug will change Rob's
 "ewma is useless" simulation conclusions. Wouldn't that be neat.
