Subj : total_votes seems inaccurate sometimes

Hi DM,

SlyVote has a "stats" feature which shows some statistics on the polls that
might be of interest, and one thing it shows is the total number of votes for
each poll and their options with the highest (unique) number of votes.  For the
number of votes, it displays the total_votes property of the message header,
but it seems that isn't always accurate.  For instance, in the Dove-Net Hobbies
sub-board, there's the poll "What is your favorite hobby?"  The total_votes has
a value of 5 on my system, but there are 9 votes on the poll (one the first
answer has 2 votes and the 3rd answer has 7 votes).
