I found this on Björn Henkes SetiMapview Forum

Your problem seems to be related to a bug in the SETI@home application which sometimes reports strange RA coordinates in the results.

Some time ago, I found the following in one of the results:


22.046880537511
1
2453006.3691631
-7.0057714723802e+149

I personally have not seen any bad location coords from SAH on this system in 8 or 9 months, and as all mine are tracked by
BoincSpy and added to the DB and displayed on a starmap the 500+ i have processed have never shown this.

I have seen some mad CS claims or score like those numbers but not location ones.

This is a bug in Seti@Home-MapView, apparantly from what I have found out the only way to resolve the problem at the moment is to delete the log entry from the csv file. A fix is supposedly being worked on that will prevent this in the future.
