Bug.... Incorrect computation of Benchmark and credit given

(moderation:
I first started looking at this in another thread.
Another cruncher reported this:
AAdjuster's A64 cpu at 2650 MHz
Benchmark results:
Number of CPUs: 1
2561 double MIPS (Whetstone) per CPU
6991 integer MIPS (Dhrystone) per CPU

You can see by the benchmarks scores the benchmark for the client is flawed....
The AAdjuster's Dhrystone benchmarks are out of wack.
The results are clearly at odds with each other.
Another interesting thing is that AAduster's credits are inflated even though the times are nearly identical..
My claimed credts all range in the 70's area where all of his/hers are in the 90's
very strange indeed.

Am I right, that the other om´ne crunches with the outdated client 4.19 on a windoze machine?
And you are using 4.25 and/or another OS?
This is a known (and disposed) bug from the earlier clients. Windows used somehow shortcuts on the benchmarks, and get therefore better Dhrystones, and claimed therefore more credit.

I'm using the 4.25 client on WInXP as I just joined a few days ago and it was the only one available as far as I could see.
If it's a known bug, why are they still accepting WU's from the 4.19 client?

Because Boinc is a multi project project ;)
Seti recommends 4.25, and 4.19 is not available any longer @Boinc, unless you know the deep link.
But as 4.19 still delivers the correct scientific results, and 4.2x is still dev-stuff for other-than-windoze, some projects still have it in their DL-stock, perhaps not to confuse the n00bs.
It's just a inconvenience from the scientific POV, so it's a bit down on the to-do-list.
