These are all playing on ICC or some such?  If so I would expect to see rating
fluctuations in excess of 200 points.

Another thing is that the time controls used by the program are very important
in establishing rating.  If an automatic program only plays 5 0 against humans
it will be rated higher than a program that plays 2 12 against humans, and
almost certainly higher than one that plays any time control against other
computers.
