[amibroker] Max system % drawdown in portfolio trader...

I'm puzzled about the results that I'm seeing in my tests. As max 
system % drawdown in a portfolio simulation, I see the following -

01/01/1999 to 12/31/1999 : -17.07%
01/01/1999 to 12/31/2000 : -13.39%

Note that the first half of the second period is same as the first 
period. So if the first year had a drawdown of 17%, how and why does 
it say in the second test that it was 13%? It should be >= 17%, no?

If I compare the resulting trades, the trades are identical for the 
first period in both the tests.

Any ideas?
