Hi Rick and others,

I am trying to understand what is wrong with the ceiling in my threaded planner 
branch when using VPM-B (Buehlmann appears to work ok). I have to admit I do 
not really understand how the interaction between the deco information for the 
profile and and the planner is supposed to work there: There is a clear 
discrepancy between what the planner computes (which cannot be totally off 
since the tests pass) and the shown ceiling. But when I save the planned dive, 
in the usual log it looks about right.

So I looked at profile.c, and in calculcate_deco_information(), I tried to 
remove the in_planner() exceptions for VPMB (see attached patch).

This makes also the plotted ceiling in the planner look good. Unfortunately 
only approximately. And there are cases, when the planned dive breaks through 
the ceiling of the profile (resulting in the profile turning red). So it seems, 
the profile is guessing some deco parameters and gets this almost right but 
only almost.

Unfortunately, I did not follow the recent improvements to the vpmb profile 
ceiling really closely. Does anybody (probably Rick) which deco parameters we 
were using form the planner in the profile? Is it just deco_time? Then there 
might be some way to „leak“ that value from the planner to the profile.

Best
Robert
