Oh, so we compute ONE number if DF is set, saying what number we think they
should use - but if DF *isn't* set, we use a different number. Sounds like more
complicated code that's just there so it can sink its teeth into the rump of the
first banana-eating NOC dweller that has to figure out what's wrong....
Unless of course there's a *reason* we want it different? Though it escapes me what
it might be....
