Some sort of subtle change in the file, causing a numerical change somewhere; some sort of "butterfly effect".

The display of the actual calculation is interesting, but a bit perturbing, since the numerals shown appear with way more precision than necessary, suggesting some sort of issue with truncation, but nothing looks otherwise amiss.

As long as the unassigned variable works... and can be entered 'by hand'.
