You may call it a typo. I think someone trying to simplify a computation
(division -> multiplication of the reciprocal or similar) made a double
division instead of a division and a multiplication, so three numbers 
ended up to be a fourth of their correct value.

The lines to modify are around 545 in the file blob.cpp (if you need more 
context, look at my previous post or the bug report). 
Substitute for example:

dk[2] = newcoeffs[4] + 0.50 * (newcoeffs[3] + newcoeffs[2] / 12.0);
dk[3] = newcoeffs[4] + 0.50 * (0.375 * newcoeffs[3] + newcoeffs[2] + 0.125 *
newcoeffs[1]);

with:

dk[2] = newcoeffs[4] + 0.50 * (newcoeffs[3] + newcoeffs[2] / 3.0);
dk[3] = newcoeffs[4] + 0.50 * (1.5 * newcoeffs[3] + newcoeffs[2] + 0.5 *
newcoeffs[1]);


: And was this the only bug in the blob code? That'd be nice if it were =)
: 

It is the only one I found. But it does not affect other scenes 
reported as bugs.
