If that is the problem, then I can fix it by just setting the c-d 
parameter to 1, correct?

Alternatively, can I simply call space->status() in the branching 
(member) function to ensure that propagation is done before looking at 
current values of variables? (that would let recomputation still be done 
in batches when there are several variable branch points between two 
"figure out what to do next" branch points, although that doesn't happen 
very often).

Thanks,
