I just checked the site to see what machines have trickled in the last couple days and noticed this workunit:

http://climateapps2.oucs.ox.ac.uk/cpdnboinc/result.php?resultid=714025

I\'ve not looked at the BOINC log itself since the computer is currently sitting in my office and as much as I love CPDN, I\'m not dragging myself in on a Sunday, but I can see some info from the site.

I knew it was close to finishing Phase 2 and it did this morning, but then 2 minutes later it also said it finished Phase 3 (my, that was a quick one) and according to the site, the result is \'Over\' with an outcome of \'Success\'. This immediately gave me the full 6,805.26 cobblestones of credit for the WU.

Oddly enough, the workunit states \'Too many total results\' though it\'s only been sent twice in total.

Not that I don\'t appreciate the >2k extra credits in a day, but it hardly seems fair. ;) Thought I should ask that someone look into it. :)

I checked the log on BOINC this morning. There are no errors.... it simply thinks it completed the entire phase3 in about 1 minute and 2 seconds.

It uploaded the zip files and moved on to a sulphur_cycle WU (that unfortunately it doesn\'t have a snowball\'s chance in hell of finishing before deadline, but oh well...).

I read about this skipping a phase happening a few times. No one has come up with an answer as to why it might do this. As for the sulphur work unit, you probably should abort that one and hope it downloads a new slab workunit.
