 i have got a question about the CarpetRegrid2 process of regridding when
 supplying the thorn with information from puncture tracker...

 in a recent simulation of BH+torus system i did, the BH was moving
 significantly further than the movement_threshold i supplied in the par
 file, but Carpet never regridded...it seems to me that the new center is
 set at a frequency of regrid_every, but shouldn't it be reset only when
 the center has moved further than the movement_threshold parameter? as it
 seems to me at the moment, i would have to know the movement of the BH a
 priori in order to chose a sensible regridding frequency, because if the
 BH moves too little between regrid_every, it will eventually move out of
 the finest refinement level..
 furthermore, the regridding frequency might change during the run because
 the BH is actually accelerating...

 i am doing something wrong here or setting false parameters?
