Problem with grade computation for duplicate assignment names; workaround

In the current releases and development version of Moodle, if an assignment in a given course and given category has the same name and is repeated 3 or more times, the student's grade is incorrectly computed (it inflates the student grade).

I have posted a bug report and fix here: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-6876

As a workaround until the bug is fixed, do not use the same name for assignments in a given course.

This problem has now been (quickly)fixed in the CVS.  The workaround of not duplicating assignment names need only apply to courses taught on systems not yet patched with the latest updates.
