[Shootout-list] scoring discrepancy

[Stephen Weeks]

Aha!  I figured out the problem.  The .craps.table at the web site

	http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/.craps.table

is not the same as the .craps.table in the CVS.  The one at the web
site has CVS merge lines in it, and hence lots of duplicates of
scoring entries.  If I run my scoring program on it, I get

clean           73.4552 ~14
gcc             58.8543 ~2
mlton           44.7229 ~2
g++             43.7682 ~2
cmucl           42.8436 ~25
sbcl            42.1749 ~21
ocaml           40.4054 ~2
gcj             34.7782 ~18
nice            31.1874 ~23
bigloo          30.5982 ~1

These scores agree exactly with what the web page says.  The negative
numbers (in SML speak :-) indicate how many tests beyond 25 have been
included.
