Hi Peter,

I explained this in the v3 thread: on a slope change, carrying
newidle_window_pos over from the previous window only shifts the
first allowed balance in the new-slope window (512 calls) earlier or
later; subsequent balances are still uniformly spaced. So the
initial value can be anything — it doesn't matter.
