As a point of fact, I did screw it up. The subscript on the log is variable and
related to the parameter to the OH() function, which is a fair bit different
than what I wrote. The correct OH() space complexity function for #3 exposes an
additional parameter that is reduced/eliminated when applied to #2, but the
meaning of the additional parameter would take extensive explanation. As
incorrectly written, it still gives an idea of the relative space complexity.

And that's what I get for sending email at 2am when already running short on
sleep.
