These values are part of the admin view processing (enabled with the "-a" 
option.  What happens is that at start-up the web100srv process reads the 
web100srv.log file and extracts the number of previous tests, and a bunch 
of other historic data.  These values are then loaded into the admin.html 
file.  Since the test is actually handled by a child process, and the 
admin.html file is updated by the parent, I needed a way to pass the test 
results between them.  I use the /tmp/view.string file for this purpose.

If you delete the web100srv.log file the values will be zero (as seen below).

I don't think this is a problem, I'll dig the previous email out of my 
archives and reply to that next.
