Here's the list that I've recorded so far... The interest in this
has slacked off somewhat although we are up to 83 entries.  If
there is more interest, I'll post again on next Friday (10/16).
I'll probably keep the list around for a while just for laughs
and giggles.  E-mail, if you've found a typo or something.

A statistician, I am not, but I've made a stab at percentages and
what-not.  Draw your own conclusions about the numbers (if there
are any to be had), but according to this small sample, it seems
that we're above quoted averages (from this forum) on mals.
[Actually, more than anything, it's "Fun with Awk"].

The numbers seem to suggest a square malfunction every 680 jumps
or so.  If you're on a UN*X system, you can sort on each of the
columns like so:

column    description    command        mininum    maximum
   1      handle         $ sort         andra      zor
   2      round jumps    $ sort +.17    andra      skratch
   3      round mals     $ sort +.25    andra      charlie
   4      square jumps   $ sort +.35    andra      rgbonitz
   5      square mals    $ sort +.45    andra      rgbonitz

                    ROUNDS              SQUARES             AAD
