Ah, well, the width of a HT has been a free variable in my calculations; I was operating under the assumption that whitespace used for indentation can float freely according to the user's settings. A few of the lines were aligning function arguments via tabs and a few extra spaces, which is not reliable in my model.

Frankly, I don't like tabs and spaces sharing the same contiguous block. I don't like it all. ;-B
