Can someone explain this?
It used to be even stranger: I had factors found by P-1 credited as though found via ECM.

 Today I had an even stranger thing happen, a P-1 factor was credited as a trial factor. Here are the lines from the results.txt file: Code: [Tue Dec 01 13:56:58 2009] P-1 found a factor in stage #2, B1=605000, B2=17393750. UID: 1997rj7/compq, M51200911 has a factor: 390126913731778984073, AID: F16547D743B533B97C9EBCA541EFDDF8 and here is the result that came back from the server: Code: Factors found: 1 Processing result: M51200911 has a factor: 390126913731778984073, AID: F16547D743B533B97C9EBCA541EFDDF8 Insufficient information for accurate CPU credit. For stats purposes, assuming factor was found by trial factoring using prime95. CPU credit is 1.0510 GHz-days. What gives?
You probably got more credit as an assumed TF result than you would have had as an assumed ECM result. :-)
