Walking through the code and comparing its calculations with hand
calculations, I found the problems with the 'clarify' patch and noted
them at the Reitveld link above.  

I do not have time to get a patch to the patch reviewed, and the 
'clarify' patch was intended only to make the code easier to understand,
so I will revert that patch shortly.  The corrected patch can wait until
after the next stable release.
