Bug Maximizer wants me to take off my shirt.

I've just ascended as a TT, teetotaler (yes, I'm running really old paths), 0 turns played.

I got an astral shirt in Valhalla, and I have permed Torso Awarengess.

maximizer thinks I should take off my shirt, as if I'm going to be in a Turtle Tamers Gone Wild! video.

The shirt is 10% muscle, so it should be quite the thing...

Note: Since I forgot to press submit, it's still doing it after 23 turns, so it's not like it was just a "0 turns, something's not initialized" problem.

Code:
> maximize mus, dump

Maximizer: mus, dump

and I am sad, because I exited and restarted in the debugger to see if I could really get at the problem, and it works fine now.

No ideas and since it might not be repeatable.,,. I will note that the maximizer has sometimes mystified me because I have surprising fist skills permed.

I have two ideas, but it may be two weeks before I can test it.

My suspicion: I didn't restart after ascension. I am really bad at listening to advice from Veracity.

So maybe something is not getting reset when I ascend? Like the number of remaining pulls or level restrictions? This is what I'm thinking "I can test after this ascension", unless someone else wants to test it first in a debugger and see if something looks obviously wrong.

The related idea has to do with budgeted pulls, which was set to "-1" in the GUI, but not because I touched it. Unfortunately just setting it to -1 manually didn't invoke the bad behavior.
