[ct-user] Difference in .brk and .sum files -- total score and QSO count for CQWW contest

[Gary Yantis]

This is probably one of those "the answer is obvious" questions but, thus far, the answer is not obvious to me.  I've noticed that the total score in the "Breakdown in kilo-points per hour" in my .brk file is different than what is shown on my summary sheet (.sum file).  The .sum file agrees with the program itself.  The number of total contacts shown in "Breakdown in minutes/QSO's per hour" in the .brk file is also different than the summary sheet and the program itself.  I went back and checked my files for CQWW 98 and 97 and saw the same difference.  The .brk file numbers are higher than the summary sheet in each case by 2 to 5%.  I looked at all of these same files in the last few years of my IARU and WPX entries and there are no differences between the .brk and .sum total score and contact numbers.  I'm guessing the .sum file and the program itself are showing the correct numbers but can someone tell me why the .brk numbers are different and apparently only for CQWW?  I'm using the latest version (9.46) but also tried this in 9.40 and saw the same difference.
  
Thanks in advance for answers (guesses appreciated too).
