That's the situation.

It is a serious flaw, and it is made worse by active stocks, because
the more ticks, the more packets of ticks have to be edited.
The situation that brought the discussion to the forefront in
December/January was a bad initial tick for INTC on an active day
when Intel traded over 18,000 ticks. With approximately 60 ticks
per packet (I forget the exact number), that is about 300 ticks
that have to be corrected. By hand, that is a big job.
Unless Omega relents, it is indeed behind version 5 release.
