Ghosts in the interests code

[afuna]

Bah, the issues with interests are slowly driving me to distraction. Two requests about interests within hours of each other! I feel that those two... three? issues have been going on long enough, so I spent the afternoon digging into interests code.

No progress on any of the issues, unfortunately, and I'm left feeling that there are, indeed, ghosts in the interests code. Without a reliable method of replication, I can't even tell whether it's memcache or actual stored values that are the problem.

I have the feeling that when we figure out what's wrong, it will be a FLASH OF SUDDEN INSIGHT HOW COULD I HAVE MISSED IT. But today, I'm well and truly stumped past the point of unproductivity.

*shakes fist*

Will get you, yet.

2112 = I know how to fix, but my CLA has apparently gotten lost in a black hole and I are a poor white boy.. Well, that, and Kari kina made it, so wanted to give the chance to fix.

When interests got shunted into keywords, it nommed on the character-length constants. the space allocated for ints is 50, but keywords are only allocated 40. So, keywords get bigger? That's a suit&geek call.

Also, I woulda SWORN (before I just went and checked) that I had added to the commentary on zilla. Aparently I were hallucinating tho.

Feel free to c/p in zilla. I just got on while waiting for food (YAY free wifi) and gots to go.

When (and how) did you send in your CLA? You may want to poke denise before she goes fly upside-down, so you know whether you should resend it (and when).
