    In any event, you should not have thrown out a candidate because all the
    individual magnitudes were consistent with each other and different from
    the subtraction magnitude. If you saw a case where that happens, and
    the individual magnitudes were *dimmer*, it indicates that something is
    wrong, not that it's a bad candidate. (That's how Rachel and I found
    the bug in the first place.)

    The only thing about those magnitudes that should affect whether or not
    a candidate is a good one is if the individual images are *consistent*
    with each other. Which this bug does not affect, anyway.
