Yes -- I alluded to this in my first e-mail.  I need
to review the "minibench.pl" driver to see what it
does when a test aborts (due to timeout or incorrect
output).  It should not be providing data for the test
at all, but I think it actually generates an entry
with zero values.

This was okay with the original scoreing algorithm,
since it tossed out zero entries.  But this is a
problem with our current setup.

I'll see what I can do.

Thanks,
