Mate number 1,562,015,191

I have numerous mates in my tree with very large values for the name.
For example: Concentric 1562015191.
I also see mates that have no type defined in the tree.
For example: "51 Rotor Stator".
If I try to rename the mates the application crashes.
Just so you know these number are really bogus......
I have only worked on this assembly for about 6 months.
I would have to average 1.5 million mates per hour.

Now that is serious solidworks productivity! YAHOO!
Bug? uh yeah.... report it? nah, I am to busy laughing.
I love to look down and see those huge numbers! hehe!

I saw this horsepucky in one of my assemblies that I'm currently working
on -- but I'm only at mate #351,767.

There's only 351 top level mates in the assy.

My current assembly tops out at:

Coincident11054874341

 

I also just noticed this in 2004. It seems like for some reason mate
numbers will go chronological for awhile then SW will add a digit on
the end. Then they'll go chronological for awhile then another digit
on the end. But I can't figure out any rhyme or reason to it.

And I just crashed trying to open up the help, Damn!
