I think the computer recalculates the number of doe permits it gives out after the flurry of buying is over and if the quota wasn' t met it starts printing out more and they mail them to whoever applied until the quota is met.
I believe this is what probably happened, no mistake, just left over permits. With everything being on the computer they can do things alot faster. If you are concerned, call albany and ask what is going on, better to be safe then sorry.
