Bad Batch of HCC WU's going around

[mcoffey]

I thought something was up. Every once and a while, WCG will release of malformed WU's. In this case, they're HCC Wu's. No harm really, they error out immediately and don't really waste any CPU cycles, just a pain in the ass.

here some shots so you can see what I'm talking about.

You can tell when you see something like this. They keep getting sent out again once someone's cruncher error the WU out. They'll clear out sooner or later, but might take a while.

Thanks for the heads up Andy. I crunch exclusively for HCC and HFCC, so i've got an entire page of errored WU's.

Yea. I've gotten about 6 of these errors in the last week. Most of them indicated "insufficient memory" :rofl:, at the same time that my 64GB of RAM was screaming "Bring it on!" Definitely a bug of some sort.

Same here. Got like 3 of them yesterday.
