I'm assuming this is 3.2.0b2 you're testing?
generateStars() should probably have a test like this, to prevent
excess star_blank images:
if (score < 0)
score = 0;
However, the root of the problem seems to be in buildMatchList(). It
sets the score for the current match to 1.0 + log(score), but calculates
minScore and maxScore based solely on the value of score. It should
take the log of these, either before or after the min/max calculation,
shouldn't it?
