whenever the PE runs, it saves (and compresses) the input to disk.
combined with the ptest tool, we can then reconstruct what the CRM did
and why.

this avoids the need to do a great deal of logging and significantly
speeds up debugging.

however clearly not everyone will want this to occur, so these
variables allow the number of previously saved inputs to be limited
and or disabled.

the PE can often detect when something is not quite right (ie. a node
that failed rather than being shutdown) and therefore something people
might be more interested in later on.  so by having multiple levels,
we can avoid interesting inputs from being overwritten by not so
interesting ones.

val < 0: disable
val >= 0: store the previous val+1 inputs


hope this helps
