Brainfart I noticed just after sending it out - naturally. If there is
unclaimed protection in the parent, but the children use exactly how
much they claim, this will div0. We have to check for usage that isn't
explicitly protected in the child to which to apply the float. Fixlet
below. Doesn't change the overall logic, though.
