My first impulse is to say "don't trust pledit". It's been one of the
flakeier sections of server code for some time, and has the bad habit of
munging your database if you use it while the server is running.

scores should be calling the same routines as the server does to
calculate stats. Check that the routines in the "tools" area are mostly
links to already existing files in the ntserv area, and not files
themselves (where duplicates exist, of course).
