Comment:

 I just pushed a new n23-4 branch. It should address the compile warning
 and the assert trigger. It's also rebased onto current master.

 It remains the case that I don't know if the code "should" do the right
 thing, but it would still be nice to find out if it at least functions.

 Karsten, if you're looking for more sims to run, this is a good one. You
 can run it with default config as a baseline (UseN23 defaults to 0). Then
 with
 {{{
 UseN23 1
 }}}
 as the main test.

 And if that goes nicely,
 {{{
 UseN23 1
 N3Initial 50
 }}}
 to see if things change.

 Since there are still good odds that something will break, if it's just as
 easy to run it on a smaller VM image first, that might make sense. But,
 whatever is easy.
