As to my understanding and experience about the problem, it happens
under the following conditions:
- n (>1) submissions in the list of SubmissionsFrame
- At least one submission in the list that is not late before any of the
  late ones

The result is that the released code will allocate room for as many late
submissions it found, and then start filling the array, but leave empty
slots if the late submissions are not all in the beginning of the
"allModel" and "submissions" arrays.
