This WU was crunched at least on two different machines from 2 different users. In both cases the computation terminated with errors.

If I have to change there something on my system - please tell me.

BTW: If it is not my fault, I don't find it fair not to grant any credit for the work done.

It isn't very likeley that a WU hits 2 computers which aren't 100% rosetta stable. In my opinion this WU has some bugs.

2nd question:
It is due the credit system:
invalid result=no credit
The credit system can't make a difference between a WU that fails because of a computer and a buggy WU.

Actually it would well have been due to coincidence. If you look at the other computers results, it's failing about 30% of the time.

I'd say the other computer is very unreliable, and it's just bad luck that the one WU you had which failed happened to also have been processed by an unreliable box.

If you want to check your own PC for reliability, I'd recommend running Prime95's Torture Test for 24 hours, but one failure out of 30 isn't too bad.

Regarding credit for failed work units, unfortunately it makes it possible for people to give themselves unlimited credit if that is allowed.

Credit is granted for failed WU's (Claimed = Granted) up to a maximum of 20 credits. Click on the "Result ID" link for any failed WU and it will show at the bottom of the Result page. It may take a day to show up and I think that is the only place it will show.

Thank all of you for your replys. For years I didn't care for credits, but since the thing happend as described in
BOINC stops working on a running PC XP
and
Can a 'malformed' Workunit crash BOINC?
I had a closer look to the results for what is going on there´and found there some strange things.

I consider this case as settled.

BTW: Happy New Year - at my location this will be in 40 minutes.
