Hmm. I was a little confused here. I see that the 4.6.4. tag in the 
(ssrf) libdc is before my change in libdc, so the fixed setpoint stuff 
for the OSTC3 is not supposed to work in 4.6.4. The good news is that it 
will be fixed in 4.6.5.

The remark of Steve "In the past it picked up my fixed setpoint 
correctly" is a little difficult to verify, but 
https://github.com/Subsurface-divelog/subsurface/pull/343 can be related 
to this. That (very obvious) error did cause transferal of po2 values 
from one dive to the next (during one import session from the dive 
computer), so, this can give the impression that a setpoint is taken 
from the OSTC3, but was in fact a setpoint form a previous dive.
