Waiting to validate climbed back above 200K

Perhaps it is due to the transitioners finally having enough time to visit more of the results in the database.

When they restart the servers from scratch, the # waiting to validate is 0.

Then the transitioners break up all the WUs on the server into [x] groups. 4 for seti at the moment. Each transitioner visits each WU in order and sees whether it needs any handling. If it has one or more unvalidated results, they are added to the running total. This is my understanding of why the number initially grows from server startup. Each time a WU is validated, the waiting number is then decreased by the # of results that were waiting for that validate event.

The disk array that was holding the log files for the backend componentss, became full and caused all the components to stop.

Jeff went in and manully cycled the log files and moved them to a different array.
