Dear Gem5 users,
I use gem5 with ruby included to run parsec benchmarks. I use MOESI_hammer 
protocol and timing CPU. However, there're strange things in the output stats 
file. Some of the items do not make any sense. For example:

system.cpu14.numCycles                         985074                       # 
number of cpu cycles simulated
system.cpu14.num_idle_cycles             820550.881145                       # 
Number of idle cycles
system.cpu14.num_busy_cycles             164523.118855                       # 
Number of busy cycles

The num_idle_cycles param should be a long interger, but here it is a float.... 
How can that be? 
Another strange thing is I commanded gem5 to run only 500000000 ticks under 
1GHz, which means the numCycles can only reach up to 500000 cycles. However, it 
is larger than the limit I set here. 
Are they possible bugs when running gem5 with ruby? 
Please someone help me out! Thanks sincerely.
