Please have a look at this workunit:

http://setiweb.ssl.berkeley.edu/workunit.php?wuid=840587

Four different computers have successfully completed this workunit; one has not. Yet, credit is still pending (and has been since 30 August 2004!) The one incomplete result shouldn't be holding this up, if what's posted here is correct.

You are correct that there is a problem. Either some subset of the results already returned should verify, or the WU should be resent. It is entirely possible that no two of the returned results match closely enough to get the verifier to accept them as the same.

Ok, that was also my conclusion. What is the next step? Is someone with who is familiar with the verifier code going to take a look at this? I can imagine that this is not the only workunit in this situation (probably far from it).
