I expected better results from Junior5 and it is not the case for other
programs.
My expectation are based on the results that were posted here.

I also want Junior5 to be number 1 but I believe that this fact did not
influence my expectations.

I admit that probably there are better programs(at least one of chessmaster6000,
hiarcs7, tiger11.7 and fritz5.32) but these programs are not in the ssdf list.

I know that this bug did not help Junior5 against fritz3 because fritz3 is not a
program with learning feature and Junior5 should earn rating from this match.

I also found another bug in one game of Junior5 against fritz3 that did not help
Junior5.

Junior5 told the tester that it lost on time.
Junior5 also gave the times for every move
I computed the sum of the times for Junior5 and Fritz3 and found that Fritz3
lost on time if you believe the times of Junior5.

The ssdf guys decided to continue the games from the position that one side lost
on time and Fritz3 won but I do not know what is the truth and which side lost
on time.

Did you send these logfiles to chessbase and Amir Ban?

Did you get a response about it?
