This is correct.

I discovered a bug in the way I was calculating the covariance matrix. I
was initially scaling all parameters to unity, and unwinding that scaling
after inverting the Hessian. I was multiplying by the incorrect values when
I did so. The diagonal terms in the covariance matrix were fine, but the
off diagonal terms were incorrect, leading to problems when using
np.random.multivariate_normal.
