In TLC, what does the num parameter do given the -simulate flag?

[Andrew Helwer]

tlc -simulate num=1 SpecName

I thought it restricted the length of the state trace but that doesn't seem to be true.

From tlc -h output:

run in simulation mode; optional parameters may be specified
        comma delimited: 'num=X' where X is the maximum number of
        total traces to generate and/or 'file=Y' where Y is the
        absolute-pathed prefix for trace file modules to be written
        by the simulation workers; for example Y='/a/b/c/tr' would
        produce, e.g, '/a/b/c/tr_1_15'

Note that it appears the num=X parameter is multiplied by the number of workers
