This is the test run on a 3-cpu ES45 with the settings in the Makefile:

Test auto/LB-LRW+OB-Ov Allowed
Histogram (2 states)
5913093 :> 0:r1=0; 1:r1=0;
4086907 :> 0:r1=0; 1:r1=1;
No
Witnesses
Positive: 0 Negative: 10000000
Condition exists (0:r1=1 /\ 1:r1=1) is NOT validated
Observation auto/LB-LRW+OB-Ov Never 0 10000000
Time auto/LB-LRW+OB-Ov 9.570
Hash=200258693ffc841829310726a4a0b7e3

How do we interpret these results?

Cheers
Michael.
