Re the latter, i admit Cells are a little un-Lispy in that I have not worked much on restarts. But the function cells-reset is meant to truly reset the cells mechanism, so as you surmised I am surprised you got away with it at all.
I take it back. Assuming you did not backtrace and cause the global *stop* to get set, re-running cells-reset and moving the DP back to zero would (absent the new assertion, of course) merely cause some cells to re-run their rules unnecessarily one time (and then recompute the same value anyway). No big deal at all.
